Autocad Electrical Publish Setup Hyperlink zooms

[jamorrison]

This has been bothering me for a while, and I wonder if anyone else feels the same...

When you publish to pdf, you set a zoom factor for the hyperlinks to zoom to. This zoom factor is a percentage of the size of the symbol that you are zooming to.  This seems to be a totaly useless number, because sometimes the symbol is a plc module, that streches from the top of the page to the bottom, and the zoom is way out, then sometimes the symbol is a little bitty arrow line reference, and you end up zoomed in so close, you have no idea where you are. The hyperlinks in the pdf file end up feeling random, and do not work well. I think the zoom factor should be based on the page size, maybe limits or extents, so if you set the zoom factor to 25, you would get zoomed in so a quarter of the sheet (25%) is visible with the symbol's origin in the center of the display.  Seems much more intuitive that way.

Exactly. In addition, it would be good to highlight the landing point (yes, it's possible).

Again, you're comparing with EPLAN 😄

Haha, I do not confess, maybe I just saw it in a pdf 😄

My profile image may be revealing and provocative, but my intention or wish is not to have Eplan implemented in AutoCAD. I want to believe that these little things would be doable by Autodesk. And believe it or not, even Eplan has an issue with the pdf links when there's a LOCBOX involved.

They are doable.

But, if you look into the "what's new" for released 2016 to 2023, you'll soon realize that nothing much is happening when it comes to developing this software.

Also, if you've been attending Autodesk University fire the last 4-5 years, you also experience the lack of focus on this product and other AutoCAD verticals.
