Review RVM to Navisworks NWD - Command Line Interface...

I do not see a thread with this information (did not come up after searching) regarding the Command line interface for creating a Navisworks NWD File, from a PDMS RVM File...

So, for those interested:[/U]

With Navisworks Review 2009, i was able to create a NWD File from a RVM file through the command line interface. Works great, and saves having to open the app, open the file, and perform a saveas. I won't post the code that I wrote to do this (since I wrote it for my company) but I will post the Navisworks syntax.

Format is :

Roamer.exe [-NWD] [NWDFile.nwd] [RVMFile.rvm] [RVMFile.rvm] etc...

where Argument 1 is the switch for File command line processing, Argument 2 is the New Navisworks file you want to build, and Argument 3, 4, etc... are the files you are wanting to convert or merge.

It will allow you to merge 2 or more RVM files into one NWD.

From a batch file, or from Start - > Run... (I am assuming the install path to Navisworks - yours may be different)

"C:\Program Files\Autodesk\NavisWorks Review 2009\ROAMER.EXE" -NWD c:\temp\NWDFile.nwd c:\temp\RVMFile1.rvm c:\temp\RVMFile2.rvm

From within PDMS:[/U]

SYSCOM 'CMD /C "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\NavisWorks Review 2009\ROAMER.EXE" -NWD c:\temp\NWDFile.nwd c:\temp\RVMFile1.rvm c:\temp\RVMFile1.rvm '

Hope this is helpful.

Other than this, I know nothing about Navisworks,as I am a AVEVA Review Fan...
