Entity Handles option enabled when files are loaded into NavisWorks.
• Some objects cannot be selected in AutoCAD (for example, blocks) which may mean that running
SwitchBack may be unsuccessful with a given selected object. If this is the case try selecting further
up the object tree and trying again.
MicroStation (/J and v8)
• For MicroStation (/J and v8) or products based on it, first prepare MicroStation by loading the
NavisWorks exporter "mdl load nwexport6".
• To get nwexport to load automatically when MicroStation is run, add "nwexport6" to the list of mdl
applications run automatically on startup.
• Once the NavisWorks exporter has been run, selecting an object in the scene will allow the
SwitchBack command to be selected either from the Review menu, from the right-click shortcut
menu of the object, or, if a Clash Detective tool is available, via the SwitchBack button on the
Results tab. Selecting SwitchBack then takes the current NavisWorks camera view back to the first
visible view in MicroStation.
• If you wish to override the view used by SwitchBack, use the "nwview <view number>" key-in
where view number is the visible window in MicroStation. This view setting is not saved between
sessions.
• Switching back to MicroStation whilst an object is selected will not only set the view in MicroStation,
but also select the object. Selection of objects is done by element id (MicroStation v8) or DMRS value
(MicroStation /J).
