Options Editor Dialog Box

Use the Options Editor to adjust program settings for Navisworks sessions.

The settings that you set up in the Options Editor are persistent across all Navisworks sessions. You also share the modified settings with other members of your team. To create a locked global options file, run the stand-alone Options Editor in administrator mode. Clicking on the padlock icon locks the corresponding option. When you are finished, click the Export button to create a locked global options file that can be shared with other users.

The options are presented in a hierarchical tree structure. Clicking expands the nodes, clicking collapses the nodes.
