Convert Multiple Design Files into Individual NWD Files

  1. In Navisworks, click Home tab > Tools panel > Batch Utility .

  2. In the Navisworks Batch Utility dialog box, use the Input area to create a list of design files for conversion:

    • Select the drive and the folder where the design files are located. Once the desired location is selected, use the File Type menu below to filter the design files that are displayed on the right. The menu contains a list of all currently supported file formats.
    • There are two methods you can use to choose the files for conversion. You can double-click files to add them to the conversion list. Alternatively, you can click the Add File Spec button. This will make Autodesk Navisworks convert the files located in the selected folder. The option chosen in the File Type menu determines which files are converted.

  3. In the Output area > As Multiple Files tab, choose the location for the converted files. By default, files are created in the same location as source files.

    If you want to change the output location, select the Output to Directory radio button, and click the Browse button. Use the Browse for Folder dialog box to select the desired folder.

  4. Select the Increment Output File Names radio button if you want to append a four digit number to the end of file name. By default, the old output files are overwritten.

  5. Click the Run Command button.
