Search Directories

Autodesk Navisworks searches for a variety of configuration files in

subdirectories of three standard directories.

These files can be overridden on a per user, all users or per installation basis.

The search directories are:

■ Application Data\Autodesk Navisworks Freedom 2012 within the current user

profile. For example, C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application

Data\Autodesk Navisworks Freedom 2012 where user is the name of the

current user.

■ Application Data\Autodesk Navisworks Freedom 2012 within the all users

default profile. For example, C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application

Data\Autodesk Navisworks Freedom 2012.

■ Within the Autodesk Navisworks install directory. For example, C:\Program

Files\Autodesk Navisworks Freedom 2012.

NOTE If you are using Windows 7 then the search directory paths are different.

Instead of \Users\Application Data\Autodesk Navisworks Freedom 2012, the path

will be \Users\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk Navisworks Freedom 2012.

Two additional directories, Site and Project, may be used to share various

configuration settings with other users. When you run Autodesk Navisworks

for the first time, the settings are picked up from the installation directory.

Subsequently, Autodesk Navisworks examines the current user profile and the

all users profile on the local machine, and then checks the settings in the

Project Directory and the Site Directory. The files in the Project Directory take

precedence.
