The User Interface
The Autodesk Navisworks interface contains a number of traditional Windows elements, such as toolbars, dockable
windows, dialog boxes and shortcut menus in which you complete tasks.
Parts of Autodesk Navisworks Interface
This section briefly describes the main interface components.
The Autodesk Navisworks interface is intuitive and easy to learn and use. You can adjust the application interface
to match the way you work. For example, you can hide toolbars that you rarely use, so they do not clutter the
interface. You can add and remove buttons from toolbars. You can also create your own toolbars.
Menu Bar
The Menu bar contains all commands available in Autodesk Navisworks, grouped together by similar or 'like'
functionality.
For example, all commands related to review functionality are located under the Review menu, all commands
related to user assistance are located under the Help menu and so on.
When a menu has a right-pointing arrow, such as
, there is a submenu associated with that
choice.
When a menu item is followed by a series of dots, such as
, there is a dialog box associated
with that choice.
