import/export batch info from clash detective

[Bryan Thatcher]

Is there a way to import and export the batch information from the clash detective panel? I'm not talking about the linked file summary. Thanks.

The only way I've been able to work with this is to make a "template" document that I append to a new model.

My templace document has all my clash categories as well as my rules in it. I save it as a .nwd and next time I create a model or open one where my rules and clash groups aren't set, I just append it and off we go. You can even delete the file right after you append it and your batches all stay attached.

I call it a "template" as that's what most people in the Autocad and Revit world understand. Apparently, the NavisWorks folks haven't caught on to that part of hte software world yet. Or maybe I missed something in the courseware.. oh wait.. there IS no courseware since 2009.. Hmm..

Luckily for me, I have a friend on the Reseller side of things still.

I have been able to bring them in by exporting clash check xml file amd import that into a new file. But only if the clash tests are based on generic search sets. If they inllude using a NWC file, that don't come in. How does that work with your 'template' file.
