The syntax for using command line switches is:
“drive:pathname\roamer.exe” [switches] [“file1”] [“file2”] [“fileN”], where [switches] are the valid
command line switches in any order, and [file1]...[fileN] are the files to be loaded and appended together, if
required. You must provide the full file paths within quotation marks.
For example, the following entry starts the program from a folder named Autodesk Navisworks in Russian language,
loads the global options file options.xml, and creates a log file log.txt.
"C:\Autodesk Navisworks\roamer.exe" -options "C:\temp\options.xml" -lang ru-ru -log
"C:\temp\file.log"
To start the program with a command line switch
1 Right-click the program icon on the Windows desktop. Click Properties.
2 In the Autodesk Navisworks Properties dialog box, Shortcut tab, in the Target box, edit the parameters for
the switch using the following syntax:
“drive:pathname\roamer.exe” [switches] [“file”] [“file2”] [“fileN”], where [switches] are the valid
command line switches in any order, and [file1]...[fileN] are the files to be loaded and appended together,
if required. You must provide the full file paths within quotation marks.
For example, enter: “D:\Autodesk Navisworks\roamer.exe" -log "D:\temp\nw_log.txt" "D:\temp\a.nwd"
"D:\temp\b.dwg".
3 Click OK.
