Hello everyone,

It is possible to open a SolidWorks assembly in Navisworks, but do you know if it is possible to bring up the " component reference" content as well?

Thank you in advance.
Have a good day.

Hello,

Impossible to date I think, it's a shame.

Hello @Rems51

What do you mean by " referencing the component "
I have Navisworks Similate 2022, if I understand your request I can look.

Hello @FRED78,

Component Reference is a custom property that is used to give a TAG to an element in a set, such as a TAG, HV-001, HV-002, etc. for manual valves.
This property appears in the Feature Manager behind each tagged element, but it cannot be exported to Navisworks.

Indeed, I think that on our models it is the name of the file that appears.
But I'm amazed that on an Autodesk product, you couldn't change that kind of thing.
