Our database in DRAW is separated by Disciplines, ie. Mechanical, Electrical, Structural, Civil, so I can limit my search to the Structural DEPT to search.
The problem is, we have workers at PLANTS, Engineer's, Project Managers, etc. that use Navisworks for model reviews. IF they need to see the drawing associated with a particular piece, it is a long hard process to determine what the drawing number is. My idea was to allow someone viewing NAvisworks to be able to identity an element in the explorer model, get a NAME and then be able to search the DRAW database to find the associated drawings. Possible?
I'm afraid I didn't quite follow your explanation of how or where to add UDAs. Can you be a little more specific? Are they added in DRAW or in MODEL (when modeled, you don't yet know what drawing the pieces will appear on)
I have been trying to figure out use the search tool to search DRAWLISTS for the reference NO, but the number for the Piece in MODEL is different than it is in DRAW -DRAWLIST. Is there a better way?
