Using Navisworks for a Civils orientated project as opposed to a building/architectural project?

Is that possible to convert surfaces from Civil 3D 2010 file into Navisworks format & PDS framework plus?
Or Is that possible to view in Navisworks?
I'm working on 2013 AutoCAD along with V52.03 HydraCAD and have been trying to export a model to Navisworks. Currently I have Navisworks Freedom 2013 on my system. AutoCAD doesn't recognize "nwdout" as a command, it says unknown command. Does this have something to do with the Navisworks Freedom that I have on the machine instead of Navisworks Simulate?

But I want the data to be read by Navisworks Manage.
How can I put the data? Is it using xdata, NOD or any other type?

Since I updated to Inventor 2013, every time I try to print an idw as a pdf, it prompts Windows to configure Navisworks Simulate. Message says the feature is on a CD-ROM or removable disk that is not available. The odd thing is Navisworks Simulate is already on my computer as part of the Inventor 2013 installation. Should I reinsert the CD that has Navisworks on it? If I just keep hitting cancel it eventually gets to the pdf creator and everything works fine then.I am thinking of uninstalling the Navisworks.

I am trying to export some Revit models to .nwc for use in navisworks.
I have been getting some odd errors, sometimes I get them, sometimes I don't. Sometimes I will get the error, close the program, re-open, and it will export fine. Other times I try that and still get the same error with no luck.
I need to get these into .NWC files, and doing it from Revit holds more infomation than trying to import them in Navisworks.
Attached is a picture of the error message Revit is giving me...
Using Navisworks Freedom as a viewer? I read that Revit needs a Navisworks plugin to export a .nwd file. Or is it Navisworks Freedom needs a plugin for rvt files? Revit and Navisworks have full cross reading and writing capability so it seems a short step to a common viewer.
I also understand that Autodesk have suggested installing Revit in viewer mode as a viewer. Its too big an install to expect clients to use this approach. Must be possible somehow with NV Freedom!
The Revit 2011 Navisworks Exporter plugin works fine for exporting files for Navisworks Manage (.nwc). The problem is that those files can't be opened in Navisworks freedom until they are converted to a .nwd file. Can the .nwd be generated directly from the plugin? Both NWD and NWC are shown in the Navisworks Options Editor for the plugin, but only a .nwc is generated.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am using the Application.Invoke() method on 2011+ and am finding it to not work well other than from the command line of a single document.
When I declare a Commandflag.Session flag for my command, and try calling Invoke using more than one parameter on a new drawing where the command was not run from, it bombs out.
So, Drawing1.dwg - Run command
A new Drawing2 is opened, saved, and Invoke called to run some LISP, it will fail.
I did read somewhere that Invoke() may need to be run from a Document context. Does that exclude the Session flag?
Can I add context menu from C# module to AutoCAD objects (for example - line). So, I want to create C# class library and load it from AutoCad by netload command. In code I want to add context menu.
View 7 Replies View RelatedOne of my users has been complaining that his "right click stops working". I have verified the problem myself, and find it very odd. It seems to be exclusive to his machine, which is a Windows XP 32 bit, I think with 4GB RAM and a decent gaming graphics card running IV 2012.
After he's been working about half of the day he suddenly is unable to right click and bring up his context menu. He then has to save his work and reboot his machine. After this he'll be good again for a few hours.
I asked him if he can bring up his context menu on other applications when IV's stops working. He didn't know but said he would try it the next time he has the problem.
I also asked him if he's using a 3 gig switch.
I'm trying to add to a right click menu for an Inventor addin using C#. I'm basing mine off of a VB sample. However, it appears VB allows the add command to be missing values, whereas C# will not allow any empty values.The 3 commas in a row are where the error occurs. C# error is simple "argument missing".

Not only do I find the Marking Menu extremely annoying, but it's buggy as well. It cuts off the context menu in certain zones of he screen - see attached. If the object I right click on is low enough, it will bump the menu up. The classic context menu works just fine. I find this happening more than not when trying to suppress a part for a LOD.
View 9 Replies View RelatedAccording to this [URL] article I tried to add context menu to my object:
ContextMenuExtension nodeContextMenu = new ContextMenuExtension();
....
Application.AddObjectContextMenuExtension(RXClass.GetClass(typeof(DBPoint)), nodeContextMenu);
Next, I found selected object:
private static ObjectId GetSelectedObject()
{
Document doc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
Editor ed = doc.Editor;
[Code] ........
Ok, I found it and tried to change properties of selected object:
using (Transactiontx = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction())
{
DBPoint point = tx.GetObject(selectedObject, OpenMode.ForWrite) asDBPoint;
At this line Autocad has been crashed. This line works if I open object ForRead, but I can't open it ForWrite or call UpgradeOpen. Is it possible to change object from context menu?
I'm using Architecture 2012 and all of a sudden the right-click context menus are no longer specific to the selected objects. If I pick a door/window tag, I no longer get the specific options to anchor it to a specific door/window. This is typical of all objects now. All that ever pops up is the basic context menu.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I have an assembly open and I right click on a part, there is about a 4 to 5 second delay until I get the context menu. The second time that I right click on the same part, the menu comes up almost instantly.
Does not matter if it is a "large" or "small" assembly. See the same lag. Here is a link to a short video [URL]
I have tried using different projects files and disabled the "Quick File Open" in app options. Neither made any difference.
Hardware setting set to "Performance". Using nvidia driver 257.21 and running a GTS 250 card. I have the advantage sub pack #2 installed.
I´d like to know whether there is a way to control the automatic appearance of this context menu

I could not understand the rules behind whether the menu shows up or not, when you put the cursor onto a vertex

I have a patterned extrusion in a part. I need to supress the first occurrence in this pattern but the option to do so in the context menu is not available when right clicking the 1st occurence The remaining occurrences are suppressible. Is this normal behavior when patterning in a part file?

I'm running into issues with some skeleton parts (with the BOMStructure type of "kPhantomBOMStructure"). When these files are manually opened up by themselves and saved, I get an error stating that "<filename> can only be saved in the context of another document which is not currently in memory".
I've seen other people with this problem in the regular Inventor discussion group ("cannot save changes", "save error"), but with no real solution.
What I'd like to be able to do is find out through the APIs which file this needs to be saved with. I'm worried that I wont be able to get this information since Inventor itself won't tell me.
Can I create popup button control underneath another pop button control?
I can do this with .net controls, but I can't seem to get this to work with Inventor. Whenever I try to add a command bar to another command bar.Controls I get an Invalid Parameter error.
Here is what I am referring to. I would like to be able to add a menu below a menu.
I have dual monitors. I have my Inventor on the left hand screen. When I click on the drop-down in the model browser, the menu which should appear on under the drop-down arrow appears on the right monitor. Pretty frustrating to have to move the pointer all the way across the screen to click the menu.
I have tried resetting the menus, toggling the model browser on/off. Nothing changes.
Why, when I edit a sketch in context of another assembly do sketches of other parts suddenly become visible?.

We have a drawing with an xRef in model space and it is exposed through a paperspace viewport.
While in PS, we activate the viewport so that we can then select the xRef and with that done, we right-click on the mouse and now we have the issue.
On all computers but one, we see the pop-up menu on the left of the attached pic, but on that one computer we see the menu on the right. The difference is marked off in red and as you can see, the section with the xRef options is missing for that one guy. Why?
We are all using the same enterprise customization file and each user has their own main customization file. I have checked his main customization file and don't see anything that would be causing this.
How can I add custom command (macro) to a context menu in Inventor 2010 via VBA?
(I searched the forum and got it to the point when I'm able to add commands that are built in Inventor)
I'd like to insert an adjust image tool on image context ribbon.

Switching from 2010 win xp to 2014 win 7. I need my specific user interface , and cant replicate it because of this issue :
I used to press context menu key on keybard to make edit menus pop up . In 2014 even though its same settings (show context menus and time sentive click) i ve lost this ability .
Either menus dont appear at all or they are replaced by the small command line context menu. I think this suggest new command line features are messing with right click options any variable i can turn off , or else to go back to normal.
Why is dimension visibility grayed out in the sketch context menu shown in the attached image?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI select a component in my assembly, right click to get the context menu, and suddenly my component is no longer selected. I get the generic context menu. I have to select the part from the model tree to get the specific context menu. What did I turn on... or off to get this annoying behavior? Who did I anger... I've been good, I promise!

For as long as I can remember, across all versions of Autocad, I've had problems picking the right item on the popup menu for object snap (shift-right click). It frequently picks the item below the intended one, i.e. it will pick Parallel rather than Perpendicular. Trying a second time works every time. This problem has been so consistent that I don't believe it is user error. The item is highlighted, after all. There is no way I'm repeatedly missing it. Is it possible to calibrate the mouse in Autocad?
