Manage Links
You can edit original links that have been converted from the native CAD
files. If you do this, then save the changes in an NWF file, then change the
link in the original CAD file, and reopen the NWF file in Autodesk Navisworks,
then your edit “overrides” will remain. If you haven’t edited the links in
Autodesk Navisworks, however, the updated links from the CAD file will
appear.
You can reset all links on an object to those that were originally converted
from the CAD file. You can also reset all links on all objects in the scene to
their original state.
NOTE You cannot edit automatically generated links, such as the links that point
to clash results, TimeLiner tasks and so on.
You can delete any links that have been added to your file by Autodesk
Navisworks users, and the links that have been converted from original CAD
files. You cannot delete automatically generated links, but you can turn them
off, so they don’t clutter the Scene View.
To edit a link
1 In the Scene View, right-click the link you want to edit, and click Edit
Link.
2 In the Edit Links dialog box, click the link you want to change, and
click the Edit button.
3 Use the Edit Link dialog box to modify the link details, and click OK.
