If it's done the same thing as Prosteel's object enabler then it might be putting the wrong path name into the registry values I posted earlier. Prosteel put the correct values into 2 of the keys (17.1, 17.2) which was enough for AutoCAD to read the objects, but in the 17.0 key it had the completely wrong path to the dbx. Changing this path to the same as the other 2 fixed the problem.
The other way you could do it - which is what we did until we fixed the registry, is simply to use the nwcout command to create the file - the geometry has already been created by AutoCAD & it passes it to the Navisworks exporter. If the command is unavailable in AutoCAD you'll need to appload \Program Files\NavisWorks 5\nwexport2008\nwexport2008.arx (or the 2006/2007 equivalent depending on your version).
