Email Files
You can send and receive Navisworks files by email.
To send an open Autodesk Navisworks file, click File ➤ Send.
Autodesk Navisworks saves your file first, and then opens the available mail software and attaches your file to a
blank email message.
You can email both NWD and NWF files, although the size of an NWD file will be considerably larger.
Toolbar: Standard ➤ Send
Receive 3D Mail
To open a received file, save the attachment on your disk, and then double-click it.
If it’s an NWF file, Autodesk Navisworks searches for the referenced files first using the absolute path that the
sender originally saved the file with. This is useful if a team is on a local network and the files can be found using
the Universal Naming Convention (UNC).
TIP A team not sharing a server can organize a project using the same file hierarchy and drive letter, and Autodesk
Navisworks can find the files this way.
If Autodesk Navisworks is unable to find the referenced files, then you need to save the attached NWF file in a
directory where all referenced files are located. Autodesk Navisworks can then search for the files relative to the
master NWF location.
TIP
You can use the same method to move a whole sub-directory from your projects directory to a completely new
location. Save the master NWF file in this new place, and Autodesk Navisworks will be able to search for the
referenced files from there.
