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:
