Bentley AutoPLANT Files
Bentley AutoPLANT is based on AutoCAD and as such uses the .dwg file format to store model
geometry. Any settings related to the .dwg file format also affect files from AutoPLANT.
AutoPLANT Object Properties can be stored in external database .mdb files, and NavisWorks supports
these files through the DataTools functionality. By default NavisWorks and DataTools are both set up to
support AutoPLANT .dwg and .mdb files, and will be looking for Equipment, Nozzle and Piping Data.
Setting DataTools:
1. On the Tools menu, click File Options.
2. In the File Options dialog box, click the DataTools tab.
