Restrictions when using NDW files

There are some particular issues to bear in mind when using NDW files in the current Allplan version:

Unlike drawing files, NDW files cannot be managed using filesets or projects. An NDW file is always displayed as an individual document in a separate window. Consequently, you cannot open NDW files in reference mode and use them as a backdrop for your work.
If your license includes modules from the Precast Elements family, the tools for opening and saving NDW files are not displayed.
Not available for the Precast Elements family
The XRef (Insert menu), Link with Scanned Image (Scan module), Activate Section and Animation Window - Selected Elements tools are not available for NDW files. When you open a drawing file, which contains an XRef, as an NDW file, only the border and the name of the XRef are displayed.
As long as an NDW file is open, you cannot use the Link with Scanned Image tool. This also applies to drawing files. You can only select this tool after you have closed all NDW files.
