Factory Options

The Factory Options dialog enables you to automatically update files with any existing changes from the LAYOUTDATA file.

The dialog includes options that affect the automatic file updates and notifications in all Factory Design Applications including Inventor, AutoCAD, and Navisworks. The settings will take effect when you reopen a Factory layout file.

Note: If you use only one of these applications, you can deselect these options. When you deselect them, the performance of your application may improve.

To change the Factory options:

  1. On the Factory tab, click Utilities > Factory Options .

    The Factory Options dialog opens.

  2. In the dialog, specify the following settings:

    • Auto-update the NWF file from the LAYOUTDATA file

      • [Default] Select to automatically update the NWF file to match the LAYOUTDATA file.
      • Deselect if you prefer to manually update the NWF file.
    • Tell me if the NWF file is out of date with the LAYOUTDATA file

      • Select to receive notifications when the NWF file is out of date with the LAYOUTDATA file.
      Note: This option is only visible if the Auto-update the NWF file... option is deselected.
