While we are all aware that you cannot export the .NWC file format directly from AutoCAD 2014 without installing either Navisworks or the NWC export utility, one thing that still makes me chuckle is after either is installed, if you type in (at the AutoCAD command line) the command “NWNAVIGATOR” it will bring up into your AutoCAD session a great Navis Viewe, which is in reality a temporary *.NWC file that you can navigate in. This is a very powerful feedback tool when modeling.
Download the Autodesk Navisworks NWC export utility. Once the utility installs, the command “NWCOUT” will now be available!
