Extract text from Navisworks or NewViews files (NV2)
To convert NV2 files to another format, you need Autodesk Navisworks or other Cad software.
To convert other file formats to the "CAD View Animation File" file type, you need software like Autodesk Navisworks or a similar tool.
The .NV2 file extension is predominantly a Navisworks Project View file utilized by Autodesk Navisworks, an advanced 3D design review software. In this environment, it typically stores compressed video animations, fly-throughs, and specific 3D model simulations. Secondarily, .NV2 files act as NewViews 2 Database files managed by Q.W. Page Associates for corporate accounting, or as Navionics Chart Files storing encrypted marine and lake topography.
To open these files natively, users are entirely dependent on their source software: Autodesk Navisworks for CAD views, legacy NewViews software for accounting ledgers, or dedicated Navionics hardware and PC applications.
Users frequently need to convert .NV2 files because of their deeply proprietary nature. These files are functionally useless to anyone without the original, often expensive or highly specialized software installed. They require expensive monthly subscriptions to open, cannot be previewed in web browsers, and are not natively supported on mobile devices.
If dealing with a Navisworks view or compressed video, the best conversion targets are standard video formats like MP4 or AVI, or document formats like PDF for static views, though interactive 3D elements will be flattened. For a NewViews accounting database, exporting the internal data to CSV or XLSX is essential for broad accessibility, even if software-specific linking and database structures are lost.
Opening or converting an .NV2 file is notoriously difficult because the format is closed-source and encodes highly specific internal data - be it spatial 3D geometry, accounting metadata, or encrypted cartography. Standard online converters fail to parse these complex, proprietary structures. If our analysis detects a supported underlying or embedded format, viewing or conversion may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your NV2 file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted UGC, MPEG, WMV and TS files.
If you want to convert NV2 file to DB, SQLITE, SQLITE3, MDB, ACCDB, DBF, ODB, FDB, GDB, MYD, FRM or SQL, you can use Autodesk Navisworks or similar software from the "Navisworks Project View" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert NDF, SQLITE3, BAK, RDB, SQL, DB4, MDF, MDB, LDF, DB, DB3 or SQLITE files to NV2, try Autodesk Navisworks or another comparable tool in the "Navisworks Project View" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our NV2 converter.
