Navisworks does not display AutoPLANT objects Navisworks has an option to view DWG drawings using a file reader mode which opens the file as if it was an older version of AutoCAD. If a newer version of the AutoPLANT object enabler is installed and the file reader is set to read as an older version of AutoCAD Navisworks will not use the object enabler. Set the file reader version to a newer version of AutoCAD to use the object enabler. See Also Plant Be Communites
