Refreshing Files
When working in NavisWorks, it is possible that others may be working on the CAD files you are currently
reviewing. For example, if you are coordinating various disciplines on a project, then you may have an
overall .nwf file referencing numerous design files. During the iterative stages of the project, any member
of the design team could potentially be modifying their CAD files. To ensure the data you are reviewing is
current, NavisWorks provides a refresh function to reload any files that have been modified since
commencing the review session. This feature does not reload all of the files you have loaded, merely
those modified since last opening them.
To refresh your scene with the latest versions of the currently loaded model files:
On the File menu, click Refresh
or
Click Refresh on the Standard toolbar.
Opening Files
With Autodesk NavisWorks Simulate 2009 you can open a wide variety of native CAD file types without
having to have the CAD application on your machine. See Chapter 10, Converting Files for more detailed
information on these file formats and their options. To open a model file:
On the File menu, click Open
or
Click Open on the Standard toolbar.
Note:
The standard Open dialog use of Shift and Control keys allows multiple files to be selected and
appended to the current set of models.
