Tag Photographs in .dwg

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone,

Is it possible to tag photographs in a .dwg. e.g. if we have a .dwg of a surveyed field, and within this field there are some areas of interest. Can a point be created in the .dwg that could be double clicked to open a link to a .jpeg.

Hopes this makes sense.

Any help is much appreciated.

Carlson Software has had a feature (for probably 15 years) where you attach an image to an object, and then when you hover over that object, the image pops up in the corner. If you had a completed GIS type map with a lot of photos, it was sort of like an early version of Google street view (i.e: hover over a fire hydrant/manhole/light pole/etc. and instantly see a photo of it, w/o an external viewer)
