Viewpoints Files
Viewpoints can be imported into Autodesk Navisworks via an .xml file, enabling you to bring viewpoints into
the current scene from another model file. For example, if you are working on different versions of the same
model, you can save viewpoints in one version of the file, export them and then import them into the other
version. See “
Save Viewpoints ” on page 240 for more information on saving viewpoints, and “ Export Viewpoints
Files ” on page 268 for more information on exporting viewpoints to an .xml file.
