Publishing from AutoCAD

JetStream Publisher comes with ARX plugins for any AutoCAD based product, such as Architectural Desktop, that enable you to publish an .nwd file directly from the CAD application in which it was created.

Note

If you install AutoCAD after JetStream, then install JetStream again, choosing the Custom Install option and choose the relevant AutoCAD. The JetStream installer will find the right place for the plugin and set up all relevant registry entries for you.

The .nwd publisher is available for any AutoCAD based product between AutoCAD 14 and 2004 releases.

    Publishing .nwd files from AutoCAD

  1. Type nwdout at the command line, or go to NavisWorks, Publish .nwd

  2. The standard WindowsSave As dialog is displayed, so choose the location and name of the .nwd file to be published.

  3. Click OK to export the file or Cancel to return to AutoCAD without exporting it.

See for more information on publishing options, what to do if the menu is not already loaded or you get an error on typing nwdout at the command line.
