Manage Comment and Tag IDs
When you add a tag or comment to your scene, it is automatically assigned a unique ID. If, however, you are
appending or merging multiple Navisworks files together, then there is a possibility for the same ID to be used
more than once. Consider the following example. Three users reviewed and added comments and redlines to
same model file, each saving their work as an NWF file. If you merge the resulting NWF files together, only one
copy of the geometry would be loaded and any tag viewpoints of the same name would be suffixed with the
NWF filename in brackets. All tag IDs, however, would be retained. In such cases, you can renumber all the IDs,
making them unique to the scene once again.
NOTE There may be a situation, where two sessions are merged that contain identically numbered tags and
corresponding viewpoints (Tag Views). In this situation, when you renumber tag IDs, Autodesk Navisworks will also
attempts, wherever possible, to rename the associated Tag Views in line with the new tag numbers.

1 Click the Review tab, and slide out the Comments panel.
2 Click Renumber Comment IDs .
