[rj.reed]

Is there any plug-in that can import a dwfx file into Navisworks?

This is not currently available in 2009.1. You should be able to export as a dwf from most programs however.

Even in 2010 you can't seem to import dwfx? Which is a joke. Managed to export a 240MB DWG to 3D DWFx (20MB). Can open in Design Review but it fails to save as DWF???

I need to get this file into Navisworks!!! Man I thought this program was supposed to be able to handle most formats and it can't even handle native Autodesk formats...

Did you try exporting a 3D DWF file rather than a DWFx file?

what program are you trying to export from? There is a free .nwc exporter avaliable which works with quite a few products here http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet...&siteID=123112

Mr. Spot is talking about the same issue in multiple threads (blech). See his other thread.

If you are exporting from autocad use 3D DWFX export
it works perfect, but the coordinates are flipped
"Y" axis is up
