Customize Links
You can customize the default appearance of links in Autodesk Navisworks. In particular, you can draw them in
3D, and you can add leader lines (arrows) pointing to the attachment point on the items. You can also choose
how to represent each link category (as an icon or as text).
Attachment Points
By default, links are attached to the default center of the item's bounding box.
You can override this with more convenient attachment points. If you add more than one attachment point,
the link is displayed attached to the closest attachment point to the camera during navigation. This allows you
to set up links so that they are always available for following when drawn in 3D mode during navigation, and
do not disappear behind objects.
To draw links in 3D mode
NOTE In 3D mode links can become hidden by other objects in the scene when you are navigating.
1 Click Tools ➤ Global Options.
2 In the Options Editor, expand the Interface node, and click the Hyperlinks option.
3 On the Hyperlinks page, select the In 3D check box.
Links now float in 3D space just in front of their attachment points to the items.
4 Click OK.
