Supported Scheduling Software

Autodesk Navisworks TimeLiner supports a variety of scheduling software.

Note: Some of these may only function if the relevant scheduling software is installed.

Note: Autodesk Navisworks TimeLiner can support third party data sources using the Autodesk Navisworks .NET API and offers Windows 8 support for MS Project, CSV and Primavera formats. Anyone can develop support for a new data source - please refer to the API documentation for further guidance.

Microsoft Project 2007 - 2013

This data source requires Microsoft Project 2007™ to Microsoft Project 2013™ to be installed.

Primavera Project Management 6 - 8

This data source requires the following elements to be installed alongside Autodesk Navisworks:

• Primavera Project Management (PPM) 6 - 8 product
• ActiveX Data Objects 2.1

Microsoft Project MPX

TimeLiner can read Microsoft Project™ MPX files directly, without needing a copy of Microsoft Project™ (or any other scheduling software) installed. Primavera SureTrak™, Primavera Project Planner and Asta Power Project™ can all export MPX files.

Note: Primavera SureTrak™ exports its unique id in the text10 field of the MPX file, rather than the unique id field. When linking to an MPX file exported from SureTrak be sure to specify the text10 field as the unique id field in the Field Selector Dialog Box .

Primavera P6 (Web Services), Primavera P6 V7 (Web Services), Primavera P6 V8.3 (Web Services)

Accessing the Primavera P6 Web Services capability greatly speeds up the time taken to synchronize TimeLiner and Primavera schedules.

This data source requires you to set up a Primavera Web Server. Refer to the Primavera P6 Web Server Administrator Guide (available in your Primavera documentation).

Asta Power Project 11 - 12

This data source requires the corresponding version of Asta Power Project™ to be installed.
