When you open a DWG file in Autodesk Navisworks, the file reader uses
the configured OE.
How do I know if I need to use an Object Enabler with Autodesk
Navisworks2012?
When a DWG file is opened in Autodesk Navisworks2012, and the objects are
displayed as wireframe geometry, it usually means that an Object Enabler is
missing.
Additionally, the Scene Statistics dialog box reports any missing or failed
to load OEs.
Where do I obtain Object Enablers from?
The recommended way to obtain OEs is to request them from the persons
authoring the DWG file. This ensures that the correct version of OE is used.
TIP You can also download many OEs from the vendor websites for the authoring
applications. For example, you can download Autodesk OEs from

What do I do when Object Enablers are not reported as missing but
I can only see wireframe geometry?
