Add Update NWF File Task

Add task to be able to update NWF file with exported NWC files on a daily basis.  The only current option is to create a new NWF file which doesn't help when needing an up-to-date NWF file everyday.  The current task option will remove saved viewpoints, search sets, clash tests, etc.

All the task would need to do is open the NWF file > update NWC files (which Navisworks does upon opening) > Save the file > Close.

This should work as Matt said. I have used a script to open an NWF run the appearance profiler, and save the NWF. 

Mike,

Do you know if it's possible to use the Navisworks command line utility to do what you're asking?

Perhaps just by listing the NWF as both the INPUT and the Output?
