hyperlink PDF

I notice that REVIT PDF TAG can go straight to the reference detail or section, can AUTOCAD PDF do the same?

Try testing on your own by printing using one of AutoCAD's built-in PDF drivers and see if they work

Automatic hyperlinking in AutoCAD requires you, among other things, to take full advantage of and fully use SheetSet Manager and its tools first.

Have you all implemented anything like that yet? It's not automatic in AutoCAD.

I did try, and it doesnt work. i guess it has to do with how Revit everything is coded, while autocad doesnt have that coded.

even thought Revit and AutoCAD are Autodesk product, but Revit was bought from someone else. I wish if they can transfert that feature to AutoCAD if possible.

I know sheetset manager, but it means i need to setup everything manually, i wish there is more easy way.

Like everything else in AutoCAD, once you create a base template and processes, it all gets done much quicker later.

Otherwise I see REVIT in your future, nothing else compares to it no matter how much you wish it around these forums.

Hello @kelvin_ng_1201

If you have Bluebeam Revu(eXtreme), you can batch hyperlink the PDF created in AutoCAD.
