Adding a pop-up window to Hyperlink in CAD drawing for export to DWF

[william.porter]

I have hyperlinks in drawings that I convert to DWF that work nicely. I move drawings of each floor of a campus building to my intranet site, where techs and admins can locate IT infrastructure and communicate with some of it.
The hyperlink brings me to a secure server, I log in, the it finds a specific wireless access point for me and displays statistics just as it should.

The problem is I can't get back to the original wed-based DWF.
I have been asked to make the hyperlink open a popup window, so the original DWF stays open in MS IE and the hyperlink is followed in the popup window. The HTML script for a popup us simply target="_blank"
The problem is I can't add punctuation [<> signs, a or /a signs, etc.]

So, when I add my hyperlink to the drawing: //168.223.252.16/webacs/monitorAreaMap.do?serviceDomainId=89336957
then add the popup command: https//168.223.252.16/webacs/monitorAreaMap.do?serviceDomainId=89336957 Target="_blank"

A popup window opens, but not the page I asked for and it has this header: [This has to be a punctuation problem]
http://%3c%20https//168.223.252.16/webacs/monitorAreaMap.do?serviceDomainId=89336957%20Target="_blank"


I tried various combinations and I was able to get a window to open, but I could not get to the specific site I chose.
There is one small complication: my site is an https:// [secure site], so the default http:// that is assumed does not work.

I'd like to do the same thing for UPS units, maybe specifc switches and routers [that will all require password challenge-response] from hyperlinks with popup windows too.
