Hello everyone, good day,
In my office, we currently use a combination of the following software:
In the past, we worked with AutoPLANT SS2 (8.11.07.60), and we could easily see in Navisworks products the AutoPlant database information in the properties panel for each component. All this after doing some configuration in the Data Tools options in Navisworks.
But now, using AutoPLANT Modeler SS7 (8.11.12.242), the database information appears to be inaccessible from within Navisworks, at least not in the same way than before.
With the older version (SS2), we used Navisworks “Data tools” configured as AutoPLANT Central Single-Project, and edited the Connection text box as
The rest was untouched, and remained as default.
Only with doing that, in the properties panel appeared a new tab called “AutoPLANT Central Single Project” with all the relevant information of the selected component.
Doing the same with AutoPLANT SS7 does nothing.
Does somebody have a similar problem?
Thank You
Hello all,
I have found, that one user posted solution to this issue on Autodesk forum.
" Hi, I found a solution for this problem.
Instead of leaving the default ODBC Driver (AutoPLANT Project), I choose the SQL Server one, and configured it with the “Setup…” Button, its server and database names, user, password, etc.
Doing that worked perfectly, now I have the same functionality than before. "
Hope this will help for other users as well.

Hello Juan Pablo,
Seems like it is not connecting to your database correctly and can't get any data from it. Might be that this Connection string is not correct anymore. From this screenshot, I see that you need to select ODBC driver for this string. Did you had any special ODBC drivers installed for your older AutoPLANT project? Or maybe you had to create new SQL server ODBC Datasource and connect it directly to older AutoPLANT Project's SQL server database?
More information about what was done earlier could help us to identify what is causing this issue.
Thank you in advance.
