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 hyperlink 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 hyperlinks 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 Area.
To edit a link
1 In the Scene Area, right-click the link you want to edit, and click Edit Hyperlink.
2 In the Edit Hyperlinks dialog box, click the link you want to change, and click the Edit button.
3 Use the Edit Hyperlink dialog box to modify the link details, and click OK.
4 Click OK to close the Edit Hyperlinks dialog box.
