File Exporters Node
Use the settings in this node to configure the file exporters required to export native Navisworks files directly
from CAD applications.
TIP If you want to restore the default values, click the Defaults button.
DWG Page
Use this page to adjust the options for the DWG file exporter.
Convert Entity Handles Select this check box to convert entity handles, and attach them to object properties
in Autodesk Navisworks.
When this check box is clear, the file exporter ignores entity handles.
Convert Frozen Select this check box to convert layers that are frozen in DWG and DXF files. They are
automatically marked as hidden in Autodesk Navisworks.
When this check box is clear, the file exporter ignores frozen layers.
Convert Groups Select this check box to retain groups in DWG and DXF files; this adds another selection level
to the Selection Tree.
When this check box is clear, the file exporter ignores groups.
Convert Hidden ADT Spaces Indicates whether space objects that lack any visible 3D geometry in DWG files
are converted (for example, objects that lack floor or ceiling thicknesses).
Selecting this check box results in corresponding hidden objects appearing in Autodesk Navisworks.
NOTE This option does not affect the normal behavior of space objects that have visible 3D geometry in DWG files.
Convert Lines Select this check box to convert lines and arcs in DWG and DXF files.
When this check box is clear, the file exporter ignores lines.
Convert Off Select this check box to convert layers that are switched off in DWG and DXF files. They are
automatically marked as hidden in Autodesk Navisworks.
When this check box is clear, the file exporter ignores switched off layers.
Convert Points Select this check box to convert points in DWG and DXF files.
When this check box is clear, the file exporter ignores points.
Convert Snap Points Select this check box to convert snap points in DWG and DXF files.
When this check box is clear, the file exporter ignores snap points.
Convert Text Select this check box to convert text in DWG and DXF files.
When this check box is clear, the file exporter ignores text.
Convert Views Select this check box to convert the named views into Autodesk Navisworks viewpoints.
When this check box is clear, the file exporter ignores views.
Convert XRefs Select this check box to convert any external reference files contained within the DWG file
automatically.
Clear this check box if you want to append files in Autodesk Navisworks later yourself.
Default Decimal Units Selects the types of units Autodesk Navisworks uses to open DWG and DXF files that
were created with decimal drawing units.
NOTE DWG and DXF files do not specify the units they were created in. To adjust the units in Autodesk Navisworks,
use the File Units and Transform option.
