Password You can limit access to an NWD file by entering a password into this box. You are asked to confirm
the password later, when you click OK in this dialog box.
Now anybody who wants to open this NWD file must type in the password you specified.
IMPORTANT If you forget your password, you cannot recover it from the published NWD file.
Display at password This check box indicates whether the Publish dialog box is shown to users who are trying
to open password-protected NWD files.
Selecting this check box gives the users a read-only access to document properties, and enables them to find out
the details of the person they can request a password from.
Clear this check box if you don’t want to provide the document information to users.
Expires Select this check box to set an expiration date for the published file. This activates the Calendar box,
where you can pick the required date. After the selected date is passed, the file cannot be opened.
NOTE Evaluation copies of Autodesk Navisworks Simulate 2010 can publish NWD files, however, these files have the
same expiry date as the evaluation software. To remove the expiry date from an NWD file created by an evaluation
copy, you must re-publish the file with a full Autodesk Navisworks Simulate 2010 license.
May be Re-saved This check box controls whether users can republish this file as an NWD.
If this check box is clear, the review changes made to the published file can only be saved as an NWF file.
Display on Open This check box indicates whether the Publish dialog box is shown to the users as soon as they
open the file.
If the file is password-protected, the dialog box is shown after the users have entered the correct password.
Embed Textures Select this check box if you want to embed all textures into the published file. This enables
you to password-protect textures, including any custom or imported textures.
By default, this check box is clear, and textures are saved separately.
Embed Database Properties Select this check box if you want to embed all properties accessed via external
databases in the published file.
By default, this check box is clear, and only the database links are stored in the published file.
Prevent Object Property Export Select this check box if you don’t want to include object properties that come
from native CAD packages in the published file. This enables you to protect intellectual property.
