Exports a drawing to one of the following file options:

  • Industry Foundation Classes (*.ifc) (CADWorx Design Review Pro only)

  • VUE file (*.vue) (CADWorx Design Review Pro only)

    An MDB2 file is also created with the VUE file intelligence and component data.

  • Microsoft AVI (*.AVI)

  • Annotations (*.CSV, *.xlsx) (CADWorx Design Review Pro only)

  • Adobe 3D PDF (*.pdf) (CADWorx Design Review Pro only)

  • JPEG File (*.jpeg;*.jpg)

CADWorx Design Review Pro can export files containing data in non-English languages.

Industry Foundation Classes (.ifc)

Saves the CADWorx 3D model .dwg file as a platform-neutral, open-file format .ifc file, which you can import and view in NavisWorks, and BIM software such as Revit, and ArchiCAD among many others. CADWorx exports the piping, equipment, and structure component data shown in the table below to the .ifc file. IFC exports equipment as a single component instead of a group of individual components. IFC export does not include CADWorx bolts. All other components display as proxy entities. To map IFC configurations, click IFC Configurations.
