When you enter keywords or a phrase in the InfoCenter box, you search the
contents of the main Autodesk Navisworks Help file.
Keyword searches produce better results. The results are listed on the Help
Search tab. Click a topic to display it in help.
When you use InfoCenter to search for information, you can use the following
special symbols in your query to refine or expand it. These symbols can be
used alone or can be combined.
DescriptionSymbol
Replaces one or more characters when used at the beginning,
middle, or end of a word. For example, “*lish”, “p*lish”, and “pub*”
*
will find “publish”. Also, “anno*” will find “annotative”, “annota-
tion”, “annoupdate”, “annoreset”, and so on.
Replaces a single character. For example, “cop?” will find “copy”,
but not “copybase”.
?
Adds grammatical form variations to a keyword when added at the
beginning or end of a word. For example, “plotting~” will find
~
“plots”, “plotted”, and so on. Also, “~plot” will find “preplot”,
“replot”, and so on.
When performing the exact phrase search, use double quotation marks (" ")
to enclose words that must appear next to each other in the specified text
string. For example, enter "specify units of measurement" to find only
topics with all those words in that order. You can also use the previously
mentioned symbols in a text string that is enclosed in double quotation marks.
