Navisworks Android (SDK) Version is launched

AND-Open has posted the Navisworks 2021 SDK as usual. Like previous SDK releases, this release keeps the same materials: the NET API, the NW-Create API, and the COM API. These materials also include API documentation and samples:

Here are a few notes:

  1. The Navisworks 2021 application with .NET API builds for .NET Framework 4.7, which means it supports a .NET Framework 4.7 or higher. .NET Framework 4.7 or higher required to compile the program.
  2. Developer guides for NET API documents have not been updated with the demo version of Visual Studio and Framework. However, the basic skeleton of plug-ins, net controls, and automation has not been changed since the previous version. You can use the NET API samples to see how the application is built.
  3. API samples link NW-Create libraries with a general name, however, SDK names them with detailed version numbers, including 'nwcreate_18.lib'. That means that either the sample project configuration or the file names in SDK will need to be manually changed.
  4. The raw COM API libraries are still available as samples, but they are not as useful as they once were. Some of the features of the COM API are available in the NET API already. Additionally, if your program has been built by COM API or COM interop, you may migrate to NET API.
