    Default File write problem with NWD- /NWC-file type

    Hi there fellows

    In a building project there is a demand to publish a new NWD-file each day, with the same filename and to the same location.

    This is of course a problem, because once someone opens the new file, Navisworks can't overwrite existing file. And of course, very often, someone also leave the file open at their desktop...

    This is also a problem with the NWC-file, once open in NW Manage we can't produse new cache files directly from Revit and ACA.

    We want to set up a automatic running script to do this rutine work, but as far as I can see this is not possible because of this "problem".

    Someone have any ideas / solution to this "problem"?


    Regards Bjørnar

    Have you got close nwc/nwd on open selected from the Global Options menu?

    This is found under global options under Model --> Performance. With this selected you should be able to overwrite the nwc or nwd even if it is open in Navisworks.

    Were you able to script the automated NWD publish? If so, please post how this is done. Thanks.

    This is done in Navis 2011 through the batch export command (was a subscription bonus tool in 2010).
    Best regards,
