How do I share the Autodesk Navisworks settings
on a site and project basis?
Sharing Autodesk Navisworks settings requires you to export the desired
settings as an XML file to the appropriate Site or Project directory’s
global_options folder. The name of the XML file is not significant. However it
must be stored in the global_options folder.
TIP When you configure global options, you can lock some of the options to
prevent users from editing them later on local machines. To create a locked global
options file, run the stand-alone Options Editor from the command line by
typing “drive:pathname\OptionsEditor.exe” -l. The Options Editor opens
with the locking facility.
To share settings on a site and project basis
1 Create appropriate Site and Project directories and subfolders in a central
location to be accessed by other Navisworks users.
2 In Autodesk Navisworks, click the application button ➤ Options
Editor.
3 Click Export.
4 In the Select Options to Export dialog box, check all options you
want to export and click OK.
5 In the Save As dialog box, name the XML file as desired and save it to
the global_options folder in the appropriate Site or Project directory.
