    Heads Up Display (XYZ Corrdinates)

    This may be an easy one, but I am unable to find a way to turn the XYZ corrdinates off on the bottom left of the ActiveX control for NavisWorks.  I'm looking to export images from a model, to put into a report.  I can export the image and resize it correctly, but the XYZ corrdinates from the control remain the same size and only show half the Corrdinates within the image.

     

    Is there an easy way to hide these corrdinates within the ActiveX control, that I may be missing.  I've dug through the control with no luck so far.

     

    Thanks.

    Hi,

     

    I think you can turn it off just by changing registry settings, but you’ll need to make sure the ActiveX control isn’t running when you do it.

     

    e.g. with NW2013 Redistributable control.  

     

    show_position = 0

    xyz_triad = 0

     

    in  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\Navisworks ActiveX Redistributable\10.0\GlobalOptions\interface\display\hud

     

    the icons will not appear.

     

    show_position = 3 1

    xyz_triad = 3 1

     

    Note, there is a space in between “3” and “1”

     

    The icons will appear.
