Find Tags
You can search for tags the same way as you search for comments. You can also find tags by their ID numbers,
and navigate through tags using the controls on the Tags panel.
To find tags by tag ID
1 Click Review tab ➤ Tags panel.
2 Enter the tag ID into the text box, and click Go to Tag
.
You are automatically taken to the appropriate viewpoint.
To navigate through tags
1 Click Review tab ➤ Comments panel ➤ View Comments
to open the Comments window.
2 Click Review tab ➤ Tags panel ➤ First Tag
. The tag comment is shown in the Comments window,
and the Scene View displays the viewpoint with the first tag.
3 To navigate through the tags in your scene:
■ Click Review tab ➤ Tags panel ➤ Next Tag
to find the tag following the current tag.
■ Click Review tab ➤ Tags panel ➤ Previous Tag
to find the tag preceding the current tag.
■ Click Review tab ➤ Tags panel ➤ Last Tag
to find the last tag in the scene.
Manage Comment and Tag IDs
When you add a tag or comment to your scene, it is automatically assigned a unique ID. If, however, you are
appending or merging multiple Navisworks files together, then there is a possibility for the same ID to be used
more than once. Consider the following example. Three users reviewed and added comments and redlines to
same model file, each saving their work as an NWF file. If you merge the resulting NWF files together, only one
copy of the geometry would be loaded and any tag viewpoints of the same name would be suffixed with the
NWF filename in brackets. All tag IDs, however, would be retained. In such cases, you can renumber all the IDs,
making them unique to the scene once again.
NOTE There may be a situation, where two sessions are merged that contain identically numbered tags and
corresponding viewpoints (Tag Views). In this situation, when you renumber tag IDs, Autodesk Navisworks will also
attempts, wherever possible, to rename the associated Tag Views in line with the new tag numbers.
