I'm exporting our dgn files out to navisworks via the Exporter Plugin that is an mdl file through AECOsim.
There is a keying available from the mdl batchnwdout that can take in a file path and file name but I can't seem to get a a variable like $(_DGNFILE) to work. If I don't specify a path it outputs the nwd file to the directory the file being exported is in.
I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience batch running nwd files out of AECOsim.
FYI
I had been running the batch utility out of Navisworks but running them from AECOsim is at least 10x faster. I was also running into memory issues using Navisworks for exporting.
Hi Simon,
Whatever options are available appear to be via the 'nwopt' key-in which is available when Autodesk's MDL is loaded. I don't know whether their utility supports variables or expects actual paths.

Hi Serraic
I think you'll find that I am the one who started this thread and you probably should of asked this questions yourself.
You need to download the exporters from this Link
