AutoCAD 2007 and Navisworks Simulate 2012

This one is pretty obscure but here goes...

We have a client who has Navisworks 2012 installed on a terminal server. They use the app to build 3D models from AutoCAD 2007 drawings. Their AutoCAD 2007 setup includes Bentley Autoplant v8i. This means that when the drawings are imported and built as models the correct shapes do not come with the drwaings (i.e. pipes are square).

I need object enablers for Bentley Autoplant v8i that support:

1. AutoCAD 2007
2. Windows Server 2008 R2

So far I have not been able to locate these via Bentley support.

I believe the actual answer is 'upgrade' but I thought I would take a shot.

Even knowing that it CAN'T be done would be helpful. Thanks!

I suspect you have been through the Bentley Support site but what options to an AutoCAD object enabler are presented to you when you follow these instructions:

1. Follow this link http://appsnet.bentley.com/myselectcd/default.aspx

2. Log into Bentely.com when prompted

3. Change "Product:" to AutoPLANT

4. Change "Category:" to Free Updates/Utilities

5. Search

6. Download, Bentley AutoPLANT Object Enabler
