The size of the exported image/animation can be set in various ways:
Explicit allows you full control of the width and height (the dimensions are in pixels).
Aspect Ratio allows you to set the height, and the width is automatically calculated from the aspect ratio
of your current view.
Use View takes the width and height of your current view.
Anti-Aliasing smoothes the edges of the exported images. The higher the number, the smoother the
image, but the longer they take to export. 4x should be adequate for most situations.
Note:
There is a maximum size of 2048 x 2048 pixels, for NavisWorks OpenGL output.
Exporting PDS Tags
Exporting PDS tags
1. On the File menu, click Export > PDS Tags.
2. Enter a new filename and location, if you wish to change from those suggested.
3. Click Save to export the .tag file, or Cancel to return to NavisWorks.
Exporting Viewpoints
Viewpoints can be exported from NavisWorks to an .xml file. These viewpoints contain all associated
data, including camera positions, sections, hidden items and material overrides, redlines, comments, tags
and collision detection settings.
Once the viewpoint data is exported to this text-based file format, it can either be imported into other
NavisWorks sessions, or it can be accessed and used in other applications. For example, you may want
to set up the same viewpoints in your CAD application.
