Introducing ProjectWise Navigator• ProjectWise Navigator is a desktop application

that enables you to open a design file to review or mark up data in the file

• Access to “Engineering Content” data stored from native products such as InRoads / GEOPAK / MX, etc. in the “Item Browser”

• Perform detailed clash analysis and interference review before moving to construction

• Interact and walk through intelligent DGN and DWG models

• Work seamlessly with ProjectWise

ProjectWise Navigator File Naming• When opening a DGN file in ProjectWise

Navigator the DGN file will be copied to a new file name as follows:

– Original file name = name.dgn

– New file name = name.overlay.dgn

• This new “overlay” DGN file is empty in content and references in the original file automatically.
