Controlling DataTools in Naviswork using .NET

Hi

 

I was wondering if there is a way to use .NET to control and change the settings in the datatools function in Navisworks to import a customized .XML file to embed data.

Hi Cassidy,

 

There is unfortunately no API exposure for DataTools at this time.

 

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news,

I have been successful in enabling/disabling the datatools by programatically crawling thru the datatools xml files in the appropriate DataTools directory and setting the active attribute on the dbreadlink element to 0/1 accordingly.

 

Pretty easy with linq 2 xml classes.
