Use Published Hyperlinks

    Table of contents
    No headers

    Some DWF files published by AutoCAD, Inventor, and Revit have hyperlinks embedded in them, connecting them to other views, drawings, 3D models, web pages, or other data such as parts lists or bills of material.

    Some hyperlinks link to multiple locations. When you place the mouse pointer over a hyperlink, a hyperlink viewport is displayed. If more than one destination exists, the viewport displays “Multiple URLs - Ctrl-click to follow link”. When you press Ctrl and click, the viewport displays a list of the links you can follow from the current hyperlink.

    To show or hide hyperlinks

    1. Click Home tab expand the View panel.
    2. Click Show Hyperlinks.

    If there are hyperlinks on the sheet, objects and text that do not have hyperlinks turn grayscale (black and white), and objects or text with hyperlinks are typically highlighted in blue.

    To hide hyperlinks, repeat this step. The grayscale returns to color, and the highlighting on hyperlinks are turned off.

    To follow a hyperlink

    • Press and hold Ctrl and click the hyperlink (Ctrl-click).

    The zoomed view, drawing, model, or web page to which it was linked opens. If the link is to a table or list, the pane that it opens in becomes active.

    NoteIf you follow a hyperlink to a table, you may need to resize the Grid Data palette to view the table.

    You can choose to follow included links or not, but you cannot change the hyperlinks in the published DWF file.
