manchest Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Hi Is it possible to put links into AutoCAD drawings? For instance could I set up an icon / text that if clicked on opens another drawing, pdf, word document, excel document or other. example: if I have a note in the drawing saying "see drawing A123_456_789 for details of power cable" could I put a link next to it that took you sraight to the drawing? If it can be done is it possible to save the drawing in a format that somebody without AutoCAD could view drawing and use the links Thank you for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manchest Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 Thanks Remark That helped Also found that if you open the drawing in Autodesk Trueview (free software) you can still use the links. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
