Published For, Copyright, Keywords and Comments are all optional boxes to be completed by
you.
3. Password gives you the opportunity to password protect nwd files. On clicking OK, you will be asked
to re-enter the password to ensure you have not mis-typed it.
4. If the Display at password check box is selected, this will force NavisWorks or NavisWorks
Freedom to display the publication entries in a dialog on asking for the password so that the recipient
is able to know whose password to enter.
5. If the Expires check box is selected, this will "time-bomb" the file so that it will not be openable in
NavisWorks or NavisWorks Freedom™ after the date set.
Note:
Evaluation copies of NavisWorks can publish .nwd files, however these files will have a
"time-bomb" set to the same expiry date as the evaluation software. To remove the expiry date
from an .nwd file created by an evaluation copy, you must re-publish the file with a full
NavisWorks license.
6. If the May be re-saved check box is selected, this will allow NavisWorks to re-publish the file with
new publication information. If this check box is not selected, the publication information in the nwd
file will never be changeable.
7. The check box Display on open, if selected, will force NavisWorks to display the publication entries
in a dialog on opening the file.
8. If the Embed Textures check box is selected, all textures will be embeded in the published file;
separate texture files will no longer be created.
9. The Embed Database Properties check box, if selected, force any properties accessed via an
external database to be embedded in the NWD. No database links will be stored in the file from this
point on.
10. The check box Prevent Object Property Export, if selected, will stop any native CAD package
object properties from being exported into the published file.
11. Click OK to go to the File Save dialog box where you can type in the name and location of the
published file, or Cancel to return to NavisWorks.
Note:
When publishing a scene, any RPCs included in that scene are not published to the
Presenter_maps directory or embedded in the NWD file. The size of the files and the fact that
most are licensed currently prohibits this.
Publishing from AutoCAD ™
NavisWorks Publisher comes with ARX plugins for any AutoCAD™ based product, such as Architectural
Desktop™, that enable you to publish an .nwd file directly from the CAD application in which it was
created.
