Visual studio / navisworks template and viewpoint tags

Hi

New to navisworks API. I have completed inventor addins.

Q1. Is there a visual studio project template for navisworks? If yes, where?

Q2. Is it possible to fire an on after event on the placement of a viewpoint tag? We would like to automatically save the viewpoint tag to a location where all tags reside.

Thanks
Paul.

Hi,

 

1. There are 3 types of ways to access Navisworks API (.NET or COM).

   Automation

   Control

   Plugin

 

no template for Navisworks plugin like Inventor. If you want to create .NET plugin, please follow the guide in

 

  2011: \api\net\documentation\NET Developers Guide.pdf

  2012: \api\net\documentation\NET API.chm  topic: Developer Guide

 

or, refer to the video class

http://download.autodesk.com/media/adn/Navisworks_2011_API_Webcast-Sept2010.zip

 

2. As I am aware, no such event available for viewppoints tag currently.
