Hyperlinks
Hyperlinks are an extremely useful review tool to allow you to access non-graphical information through
the graphical interface of NavisWorks. As well as hyperlinks being converted from the native CAD files
you open in NavisWorks, you can also "override" an item's hyperlinks by attaching multiple additional
hyperlinks to it. Because hyperlinks are treated as a property by NavisWorks, they can be searched on
with the Find Items tool and displayed in the Properties bar. They are also saved into NavisWorks files
so that as the model changes, the links remain for you and others to view.
Hyperlinks are categorized so that you can switch them on and off by category, and they can be anything
internal (such as a viewpoints or selection set) or external (such as a web page, script, or spreadsheet) to
NavisWorks. By turning on hyperlinks in the main navigation window, you can simply click on the link to
activate it. Hyperlinks can be displayed as a text description, or as an icon and can also optionally have
leader lines pointing to points on the item to help you identify which item has the link attached.
