NWF Files
.nwf files can be saved by NavisWorks in order to save a current review of the scene. No geometry is
saved in this format, but a list of appended files, along with their path relative to the .nwf file is saved,
along with any overrides, comments, redlines, viewpoints or other NavisWorks specific information. .nwf
files are useful when the CAD files are still changing throughout the design period, as the latest files are
loaded each time the .nwf file is opened.
NWD Files
.nwd files are files published by NavisWorks Publisher and are snapshots of the model at a certain time.
See Publishing from NavisWorks for more information on this.
NWD Options
NavisWorks allows you to enable and disable geometry compression and select whether the precision of
certain options should be reduced when saving (or publishing) .nwd files. Geometry compression results
in less memory being required and therefore smaller .nwd files.
Setting NWD options:
1. On the Tools menu, click Global Options.
2. Expand the Model node in the Options Editor dialog box, and click the NWD option.
The NWD page is displayed.
