Password You can limit access to an NWD file by entering a password into this box. You are asked to confirm
the password when you click OK.
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 or not the Publish dialog box is shown to users who are
trying to open password-protected NWD files.
Selecting this check box gives users read-only access to document properties, enabling users 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 2011 can publish NWD files, however, these files have the
same expiration date as the evaluation software. To remove the expiration date from an NWD file created by an
evaluation copy, you must re-publish the file with a full Autodesk Navisworks Simulate 2011 license.
May be Re-saved This check box controls whether users can republish this file as an NWD or not.
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 or not 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 in the published file. This enables you

name as the published file, but with a _Presenter_Maps suffix. The folder is in the same location as the published
file.
IMPORTANT If you do not select Embed Textures and intend to share the published file, you should provide the
related _Presenter_Maps folder with textures and instruct that the recipient to place the folder in the same location as
the published file to ensure viewing fidelity.

databases in the published file.
By default, this check box is clear, and only the database links are stored in the published file.
