ok FYI, since the last post, I did more tests...With "some" success... I tried the export on one of my personal computer, out of the office domain and other network security, etc. I could extract one by one the attached Autoplant files from the NWD. Take about 40-60 hours to export each. Still very-very slow... Meanwhile, I found other issues importing smartplant file (.vue) in Naviswork. Just crashed and It looked like an Database error to me. I re-installed the Microsoft MDB engine and fixed that issue of reading .vue in navisworks on my domain computers. So after this Database engine fix, I tried it again an export Navisworks to Synchro, on my domain computer again and it worked this time! Looks like fixing that second issue with smartplant file could have also fix the export on Autoplant files? (At least I had the files exported...) I could do the export, BUT, and is a big "but" still days to export them! And still have the issues that it is extremely slow to read the properties when I click an object in Naviswork Note: I can only assume the database engine fix/install, resolved the issue of not being to exporting the file at all, could have been something else in my system that I am not aware of... Not 100% sure on that one... If someone had the same issues or crashing and want to reinstall the database engine, I am posting the link to it bellow. If you install this engine fix and your export worked after... Let us know by posting your result here. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=54920 PS: to accelerate the export, I split each file exported , EX: from one Autoplant file, selected for the export 1/3 of the layers at one time, repeat for the other layers to export the content in 3 sessions at the same time. Less hours total each to do individual processing and merge them back in synchro after... Caveats not saving all 3 exports Synchro extraction and link content info after in NWF (same file being edited multiple time at once). But in my case, a one time export, I didn't need that to be saved in the NWF so I was ok with it...
