Links
There are several sources of links in Autodesk Navisworks: original links that
have been converted from the native CAD files, links that have been added
by Autodesk Navisworks users, and links that have been automatically
generated by the program (for example, selection set links, viewpoint links,
TimeLiner task links and so on).
The links converted from the native CAD files, and the links added by Autodesk
Navisworks users are treated as object properties. This means, you can examine
them in the Properties window.
You can also use the Find Items window to search for them.
All links are saved with Autodesk Navisworks files so that as the model changes,
the links remain there for you and others to view.
Link Categories
There are two types of links: standard and user-defined.
Standard links are split into the following categories:
Hyperlink
Label
Viewpoints
TimeLiner
Sets
Redline tags
By default, all links except labels, are drawn as icons in the Scene View.
Labels 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 View.
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, hyperlink
category, or label category to it. The rest of the categories are automatically
assigned by Autodesk Navisworks when it generates corresponding links.
