Configure, share and lock global options with users on a network.
Global options can be shared across an entire project site, or across a specific project group depending on the required level of granularity. Using global options, you can share features like workspaces, datatools, avatars, and clash tests with other users across an entire project site, or across a specific project group. You can also lock global options to ensure users on a network deployment share the same settings, and prevent users changing their local installation options.
When you run Autodesk Navisworks for the first time, global options are picked up from the installation or deployment directory. Autodesk Navisworks will also examine the current user profile and the all users profile on the local machine, and then checks the options in the Project Directory and the Site Directory. The files in the Project Directory take precedence.
To share Autodesk Navisworks global options you must export the global options as an XML file to the appropriate Site or Project directory’s global_options folder. The name of the XML file is not significant, but it must be stored in the global_options folder. See To Configure Global Location Options.
