To install and use an OE with Navisworks 1 Obtain the required OE, and run the installer. 2 On the OE Setup page, select the check box for the relevant Autodesk Navisworks products. NOTE Some OEs have dependencies on other OEs, and, therefore, must be installed in a specific order. For example, the AutoCAD MEP 2009 OE has a dependency on the AutoCAD Architecture 2009 OE. As a result, the AutoCAD MEP 2009 OE must be installed after the AutoCAD Architecture OE. 3 Click Install. When the OE is installed, click Finish. 4 Run Autodesk Navisworks. 5 Click Tools ➤ Global Options. 6 In the Options Editor, expand the File Readers node, and click DWG/DXF/SAT. 7 Ensure the value in the DWG Loader Version field is the same as the version of the installed OE, and close the dialog box. For example, if you've installed OE for AutoCAD Architecture 2007, you must set the DWG Loader Version to '2007'. When you open a DWG file in Autodesk Navisworks, the file reader uses the configured OE. How do I know if I need to use an Object Enabler with Autodesk Navisworks 2010? When a DWG file is opened in Autodesk Navisworks 2010, and the objects are displayed as wireframe geometry, it usually means that an Object Enabler is missing. Additionally, the Scene Statistics dialog box reports any missing or failed to load OEs. Where do I obtain Object Enablers from? The recommended way to obtain OEs is to request them from the persons authoring the DWG file. This ensures that the correct version of OE is used. TIP You can also download many OEs from the vendor websites for the authoring applications. For example, you can download Autodesk OEs from http://www.autodesk.com/oe. What do I do when Object Enablers are not reported as missing but I can only see wireframe geometry? 1 Click Tools ➤ Global Options. 2 In the Options Editor, expand the File Readers node, and click DWG/DXF/SAT. 3 Select 'Shaded' in the Render Type field. 4 Ensure the Use ADT Standard Configuration check box is selected. 5 Click OK to save the changes and close the dialog box. 6 Click File ➤ New, and then open the DWG file again.
