Truview/Hyperlinks

[Anonymous]

On Truview, is there a way to view a hyperlink created on an AutoCad file - DWG ?

While holding down the CTRL key, put your mouse over the object that has the hyperlink and 'left click'. The file that the hyperlink is tied into should then be opened.

Just tried the hyperlink feature in TrueView 2015 / 2017 / 2019 with a link to a web address. And it works as expected.

Can you please explain more in detail what not work on your side and provide a sample ?

There is no functionality for hyperlinks within TrueView by using the CTRL key as there is in AutoCAD.   Unless I've been missing something.  We have a DWG filled with hyperlinks that are all fully functional within AutoCAD.  When targeting the same file with TrueView, pressing CTRL and hovering over a point/line does not work.

CTRL+clicking on the object works fine here in DTV2018: since DTV is designed to make object selection difficult, unlike AutoCAD, it does take a few tries to get it going. Just wait for the pop-up that says something like "... ctrl+click to follow link..." then do it.

Oh okay thanks. I'm using 2017.  I just downloaded 2018 and will go from there.  Thanks for the help.
