How to Launch NavisWorks
Assuming that you've followed all of the previous steps outlined in this Quick Start section, you can
launch NavisWorks and start taking advantage of its new and updated features.
You can start NavisWorks in the following ways:
• Desktop shortcut icon. When you install NavisWorks, a NavisWorks shortcut icon is placed on your
desktop. Double-click the NavisWorks icon to start NavisWorks.
• Start menu. On the Start menu, click Programs (Windows XP) or All Programs (Windows Vista)
Autodesk > Autodesk NavisWorks Simulate 2009 > Autodesk NavisWorks Simulate 2009.
• Location where NavisWorks is installed. If you have administrative permissions, you can run
NavisWorks in the location where you installed it. If you are a limited-rights user, you must run
NavisWorks from the Start menu or from the desktop shortcut icon. If you want to create a custom
shortcut, make sure that the Start In directory for the shortcut points to a directory where you have
write permissions.
How to Launch NavisWorks in Another Language
