Autodesk Navisworks Workspaces
Workspaces are sets of toolbars and dockable windows that are grouped and organized so that you can work in
a custom, task-oriented design review environment.
Each workspace contains sets of toolbars and dockable windows with the tools required to perform a certain job,
making it easy to switch between design review layouts as necessary. For example, 'file aggregation', 'project
review', 'object animation' and 'interference detection' workspaces could be set up, saved and used as appropriate.
The workspaces can also be shared with other users. You could, for example, create separate workspaces for
occasional and power Navisworks users, or setup your own corporate standard.
Autodesk Navisworks comes with several pre-configured workspaces:
■ Safe Mode - selects the design review layout with the minimum features.
■ Extended - selects the design review layout recommended for advanced users.
■
Default - selects the design review layout recommended for users new to the program.
■ Classic - selects the design review layout used in Navisworks v5 and earlier.
You can use these workspaces as-is or modify them in accordance to your requirements. When you first start
Navisworks, the default workspace is used. You can choose a different workspace at any time by clicking View
➤
Workspaces, and then selecting the required workspace from the list.
