Link Categories
There are two types of links: standard and user-defined.
Standard links are split into the following categories:
■ Hyperlink
■ Tag
■ Viewpoints
■ TimeLiner
■ Selection sets
■ Redline tags
By default, all links except tags, are drawn as icons in the Scene Area. Tags are drawn as text.
User-defined links enable you to customize the link categories to suit your workflow. By default, user-defined
links are drawn as icons in the Scene Area.
You can use the Options Editor to toggle the display of each of the link categories, and also to control their
appearance.
When you add a link, you can assign a user-defined category, hyperlinks category, or tag category to it. The rest
of the categories are automatically assigned by Autodesk Navisworks when it generates correponding links.
Display Links
You can switch links in the Scene Area on and off. You can also toggle the display of each of the link categories.
When links are switched on, you can reduce the screen clutter by restricting a number of links can be shown in
the Scene Area, hiding colliding icons, and using culling. Finally, as some standard link categories can have
comments associated with them, you can choose to only draw links with attached comments.
