To Install and Use an OE with Autodesk Navisworks

To install and use an OE with Autodesk Navisworks

1. Obtain the required OE, and run the installer.
2. On the OE Setup page, select the check box for the relevant Autodesk Autodesk Navisworks products.
   Note: Some OEs have dependencies on other OEs, and, therefore, must be installed in a specific order. For example, the AutoCAD MEP 2009 OE has a dependency on the AutoCAD Architecture 2009 OE. As a result, the AutoCAD MEP 2009 OE must be installed after the AutoCAD Architecture OE.
3. Click Install. When the OE is installed, click Finish.
4. Run Autodesk Navisworks.
5. Click the application button Options.
6. In the Options Editor, expand the File Readers node, and click DWG/DXF.
7. Ensure the value in the DWG Loader Version field is the same as the version of the installed OE, and close the dialog box. For example, if you’ve installed OE for AutoCAD Architecture 2013, you must set the DWG Loader Version to ‘2013’.

   When you open a DWG file in Autodesk Navisworks, the file reader uses the configured OE.
