Okay I am trying to figure out something here with Navisworks and CADWorx object xdata. I am trying to expose additional values in Navisworks from a CADWorx model. One of the values that I need is currently not available in the CADWorx or CADWorx User Data in order for me to make the appropriate link into our sql db. Is there a way to have a Navisworks datatools connection string retrieve xdata values from a model?

I am trying to use an existing field that is a unique id for each component added that I can use in the edit component dialog box, since the CADWorx tab has limited properties exposed.

If not then need to figure out a way to use the Custom Data tab and automatically generate a unique id for each component and have it added to that custom field.

Any ideas or suggestions would be helpful. I am sorry if I just threw a bunch of words together, it's a bit difficult to put all the thoughts into words.

Thanks.
