Publishing from Roamer

JetStream Publisher .nwd files are files published by JetStream Publisher and are snapshots of the model at a certain time.

    Publishing a NavisWorks .nwd File

  1. Go to File, Publish...

    The Publish dialog box is displayed

  2. You can enter as much, or as little information as you wish. Title, Subject, Author, Publisher, Published For, Copyright, Keywords and Comments are all optional text boxes to be completed by you.

  3. Password gives you the opportunity to password protect nwd files. On clicking OK , you will be asked to re-enter the password to ensure you have not mis-typed it.

  4. If the Display at password checkbox is checked, this will force JetStream or NavisWorks Freedom to display the publication entries in a dialog on asking for the password so that the recipient is able to know whose password to enter.

  5. If the Expires checkbox is checked, this will "time-bomb" the file so that it will not be openable in JetStream or NavisWorks Freedom after the date set.

    Note

    Evaluation copies of JetStream can publish .nwd files, however these files will have a "time-bomb" set to the same expiry date as the evaluation software. To remove the expiry date from an .nwd file created by an evaluation copy, you must re-publish the file with a full JetStream Publisher license.

  6. If the May be re-saved checkbox is checked, this will allow JetStream to re-publish the file with new publication information. If this checkbox is not checked, the publication information in the nwd file will never be changeable.

  7. The checkbox Display on open , if checked, will force JetStream to display the publication entries in a dialog on opening the file.

  8. If the Embed Textures checkbox is checked, all textures will be embeded in the published file; separate texture files will no longer be created.

  9. The Embed Database Properties check box, if checked, force any properties accessed via an external database to be embedded in the NWD. No database links will be stored in the file from this point on.

  10. The checkbox Prevent Object Property Export , if checked, will stop any native CAD package object properties from being exported into the published file.

  11. Click OK to go to the File Save dialog where you can type in the name and location of the published file, or Cancel to return to JetStream.

Note

When publishing a scene, any RPCs included in that scene are not published to the Presenter_maps directory or embedded in the NWD file. The size of the files and the fact that most are licensed currently prohibits this.
