Navisworks 64-bit not exporting from Acad '09

[mvecchione]

I am using 64-bit versions of both Navisworks Manage '10 & Acad '09. I installed the 64-bit exporters and loaded the arx files into Acad. When I use the export command (nwcout) nothing happens. No error, no "save target as" dialog. It just sits there until I hit escape.

This problem happened with Navisworks Manage '09 and I was hoping it would be resolved with the new version, but it looks like it's not. Anyone get this same problem?

It may be that the Navisworks 2010 ARX file will only work with AutoCAD 2010 since ARX files needed to be recompiled for AutoCAD 2010. A 2010 ARX will not be compatible with earlier versions of AutoCAD.

Could it be the filename dialog is located off-screen somewhere?

It does work in Acad '10, thanks! (We have a subscription license). My only issue now is waiting for Quickpen to release an '10 Pipe Designer 3D enabler in 64-bit, not holding my breath on that one since they haven't even released an '09 64-bit one...

Actually, if you contact QuickPen directly, they will send you a 64 bit object enabler.
I ran into a similar issue with our HVAC subcontractor and they sent me the necessary object enablers for 64 bit AutoCAD 2009.
