Navisworks API Documentation (2020 or later)

pedram_elmi — Tue, 03 Nov 2020 02:12:33 GMT

I'm a new API learner. I was searching for a source like NW API documentation and I saw comments about the "API documentation". Unfortunately, I couldn't find it anywhere. I've found this site (apidocs.co) having NW API documentation(2017-2018). Is this what I need to learn for coding the API? Are there other or even better free sources?

In order to learn NW API coding, if you have or know guidance links/files share it, please.

Hello @pedram_elmi ,
To learn NW API coding you can always explored the API documentation Which have good examples of specific API's site - https://apidocs.co/apps/navisworks/2018/87317537-2911-4c08-b492-6496c82b3ed0.htm
Also you can visit the NW developer center foo lab's, assignments and courses.
site - https://www.autodesk.com/developer-network/platform-technologies/navisworks

Also when you install NW in your installation directory there is this "api" folder where you can get plenty of code examples of COM API and .NET API to start with.

Accept solution if it solves your problem.
Thanks.

Hello,

i downloaded the latest version (2021 SDK) from https://www.autodesk.com/developer-network/platform-technologies/navisworks. But the Net API.chm tell me 2018 as version.

How to get a never version?

Or did not changed anything in the last 3 versions?

Best regards

Rene

I can confirm that the file NET API.chm in Navisworks_2021_API_SDK.exe displays the title "

Autodesk Navisworks 2018 .NET API Reference Guide" when started.
