Hey,
I am running Win7 32bit with AutoCAD 2010 Update 2 as well as AutoPLANT V8i SS2. The users are now requesting to have the Navisworks plug-in for viewing rendered the modeling as they design. I know there were some problems with NW 2010 platform cooperating with V8i SS2 so my thought was to go to NW2011 platform. The users jumped the gun and tested NW2012 and it appears to have corrupted their desktop profiling so the AutoPLANT would not launch properly. Hence again to go safe with Navisworks 2011 platform.

My question is does anyone know which license the plug-in uses? Is it Simulate or Manage? Want to make sure and buy the right license the first time.

Thanks,
PartRidge

Should be simulate, manage is the clash detection part of Navisworks. Both should work but manage is more expensive cause it is simulate with the clash detection.

Thanks Grinch. Now I just need to get my hands on Navisworks 2011. Autodesk only has 2012 product lines posted and I wanted to test it first.
