Navisworks 2013 now Enabled for CADWorx 2013

We are pleased to announce that as a result of ongoing collaboration between Autodesk Navisworks® and Intergraph CADWorx® development teams, CADWorx 2013 Plant Professional models (including intelligent CADWorx properties) will now be supported in Navisworks, beginning with version 2013/SP1. See Autodesk announcement here: http://beyonddesign.typepad.com/posts/2012/06/service-pack-1-now-available-for-autodesk-navisworks-2013.html

You can download the latest version of Autodesk Navisworks 2013 Service Pack 1 here: http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=19840757&linkID=10382102

If CADWorx 2013 is not already installed on the same machine as Navisworks you will need to install the CADWorx 2013 object enablers on each machine with which you wish to view CADWorx 2013 models. The enabler can be found here: http://icas.intergraph.com/forms/ICAS-Downloads

Please note that after installing Navisworks 2013 SP1 users will need to make one quick change to the default settings to make it work properly with CADWorx 2013 models. Please read the following or view this short video Download Navisworks 2013.wmv (922.3K).

1) Start Navisworks 2013.

 

 2) Select the file button.

 

3) Select the options button.

 

4) Then select File Readers, DWG/DXF, change the DWG Loader Version to 2012, and select Ok.

 

Now Navisworks 2013 will be able to open a CADWorx 2013 model, visualize the CADWorx solids, and view the CADWorx intelligent Xdata.

Currently running windows 7 64 bit.

Cadworx 2013 r2 with Navisworks Simulate 2013 and have updated to service pack 2. (file readers for dwg are set to 2012)

All new piping components drawn in Cadworx are shown as wireframe where older version are shaded as a solid (see attached picture)

Before I upgraded my machine from a 32bit to 64 bit I had the identical setup except for having serive pack 1 installed for Navis, and this was a none issue.

Anyone know of a setting or a fix I'm missing?

Thanks,
