System Requirements for Stand-Alone Installa-
tion
The first task you need to complete is to make sure that your computer meets
the minimum system requirements. If your system does not meet these
requirements, problems can occur, both within Autodesk Navisworks and at
the operating system level.
Whether your Windows operating system is the 32-bit or the 64-bit version,
the version is automatically detected during installation.
See the following table for hardware and software requirements.
