Hi prashanthmallu,

I've managed to get the control working in an ASP.Net page, but I'm having some problem getting the controls for selecting other .nwd files etc working...

I just asked a question about it and posted a link to some blog posts by Xiaodong Liang http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/Autodesk-Navisworks-API/Navisworks-ActiveX-Control/td-p/3549588

Hope that helps you.

Cheers....

Hello,

using the below code, i too was able to view the .nwd file on a .aspx page.(using Navisworks Redistributable Control 10 SDI)

Now i am trying to do a search in the model?But it seems we need a licensed version to execute this code.

i am getting an error "Microsoft JScript runtime error: <<NavisWorks Error - API Unlicensed>>"

So i am planning to test it in a licensed version.

Please share me the code that you have too.

function test(){
alert('called');
var state = ctrlId.state;
var find = state.ObjectFactory(state.GetEnum("eObjectType_nwOpFind"));
var findspec = state.ObjectFactory(state.GetEnum("eObjectType_nwOpFindSpec"));
var findcon = state.ObjectFactory(state.GetEnum("eObjectType_nwOpFindCondition"));
findcon.SetPropertyNames("LcOaNat64AttributeValue");
findcon.SetAttributeNames("LcOpDwgEntityAttrib");
findcon.Condition = state.GetEnum("eFind_EQUAL");
findcon.value = "M/4";
findspec.Selection.SelectAll();
findspec.Conditions().add(findcon);
find.FindSpec = findspec;
var sel = find.FindAll();
state.CurrentSelection = sel;
state.ZoomInCurViewOnCurSel();
}

My code is pretty much the same as yours.

I think that there are only limited functions you can do with the Redistributable API and a license is required for using the Integrated API. That's certainly how it appears to me, but like I said before, last week I had no idea what Navisworks was so I can't be certain.

Have you saw this thread discussing the licensed API? http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/Autodesk-Navisworks-API/Use-Naviswork-ActiveX-with-Licensed-API/td-p/3...

johncondron is correct. As the blog says: the functionalities of Redistributable control are very limited. You will need to use Integrated control to have the full abilities.
