To start the program with a command line switch

  1. Right-click the program icon on the Windows desktop. Click Properties.
  2. In the Autodesk Navisworks Properties dialog box, Shortcut tab, in the Target box, edit the parameters for the switch using the following syntax:

    “drive:pathname\roamer.exe” [switches] [“file”] [“file2”] [“fileN”], where [switches] are the valid command line switches in any order, and [file1]...[fileN] are the files to be loaded and appended together, if required. You must provide the full file paths within quotation marks.

    For example, enter: “D:\ Autodesk Navisworks\roamer.exe " -log "D:\temp\nw_log.txt" "D:\temp\a.nwd" "D:\temp\b.dwg" .
