Use File Exporters
Autodesk Navisworks provides file exporters to create native Navisworks files directly in CAD applications.
Currently, you can export NWC files from AutoCAD, MicroStation, Revit, ArchiCAD, and Viz/Max applications.
You can use file exporters:
■ If Autodesk Navisworks cannot read the native CAD file format. Currently, the following native file formats
are not supported: VIZ, MAX, ArchiCAD, Revit.
■ If Autodesk Navisworks has converted the native CAD file, but some geometry is missing, for example, and
you want to improve the file quality.
AutoCAD File Exporter
Autodesk Navisworks comes with ARX plugins for any AutoCAD
™
based product, such as Architectural Desktop
™
,
and enables you to export files into NWC file format.
The file exporter is available for any AutoCAD-based product between AutoCAD 2004 and 2010 releases.
NOTE If you installed the Autodesk Navisworks software with exporter plugins, and you install any AutoCAD-based
software after Autodesk Navisworks is installed, you need to update your exporter plugins installation with the appropriate
ARX plugins before you can use them.

DWG File Exporter Options” on page 401
Add the ARX Plugin
You can either add the ARX plugin to Exporter Plugins installation, or load it manually in AutoCAD-based
software.
