Navisworks Image Links and file sharing

[JammonGilbane]

A group I am working for has asked me to create a Navisworks file with linked images of construction (done).

I am working in Navisworks Manage and the group I am working with is using Navisworks Freedom.

As we share the files via an ftp, I am unable to share the Navis NWD file without loosing the linked images.

Any suggestions on creating a folder in a specific location that will be recognized by multiple computers upon downloading?  Can I use an intermediary source such as Excel to assist in some way?

Is it impossible to create a Navis file with linked images that I can upload to an FTP for other users to download and use on their desktop without losing the links?

Regards,

Jammon

Haven't played with hyperlinks in a while, from what I remember they were always absolute by default.  You can set them to relative which is better for file sharing between locations, but since that change is manual-only any more than a handful is time consuming.  You could path the links to a shared internet resource but there's security risks in that.  If the pictures are grouped, you could provide a limited selection of relative links in the model, linked to HTML documents which provide a more easily organized access system.
