Manage IDs When you add a redline 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 ID's, 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.

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 ■ Tag ■ Viewpoints ■ Clash Detective ■ TimeLiner ■ Selection sets ■ Redline tags By default, all links except tags, are drawn as icons in the Scene Area. Tags 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 Area. You can use the Options Editor to toggle the display of each of the link categories, and also to control their appearance. Links | 227
