If you install AutoCAD after NavisWorks, then install NavisWorks again, choosing the Custom
Install option and choose the relevant AutoCAD. The NavisWorks installer will find the right place
for the plugin and set up all relevant registry entries for you.
The .nwd publisher is available for any AutoCAD based product between AutoCAD 14 and 2004
releases.
Publishing .nwd files from AutoCAD:
1. Type nwdout at the command line, or go to NavisWorks > Publish .nwd.
2. The standard Windows™ Save As dialog box is displayed, so choose the location and name of the
.nwd file to be published.
3. Click OK to export the file or Cancel to return to AutoCAD without exporting it.
See “ AutoCAD .nwc Exporter ” for more information on publishing options, what to do if the menu is not
already loaded or you get an error on typing nwdout at the command line.
Publishing from MicroStation ™
NavisWorks Publisher comes with MDL plugins for MicroStation™ SE, 95, /J and v8 that enable you to
publish .nwd files directly from the CAD application in which it was created. As long as MicroStation is
already installed on the computer when NavisWorks is installed, this MDL plugin is installed with
NavisWorks and ready for use.
Note:
If you install MicroStation after NavisWorks, then install NavisWorks again, choosing the Custom
Install option and choose the relevant MicroStation. The NavisWorks installer will find the right
place for the plugin and set up all relevant registry entries for you.
There are two steps to publishing .nwd files from MicroStation - first you have to load the MDL application
into MicroStation and then you have to publish the file.
Loading the NWExport MDL plugin manually:
1. Go to the Utilities > Key-in dialog box to load the application manually.
2. Type "mdl load nwexport" (without the quotes) and press return.
3. An options dialog box can be opened from this export dialog box to configure the file output.
If you regularly publish .nwd files from MicroStation, then you will not want to load the NWExport plugin
manually each time, so do the following.
