Block attribute hyperlink lost after inserting a block

Anonymous
Not applicable

I'm trying to create a blocks for the equipment which I'm working with. Above each block I have created new attribute "TYPE" which is hyperlinked to the datasheet on the website. I'm using attribute instead of text just in case that I need a block without the name above, it can be easier deleted.

 

This is how I'm creating my block:

- prepare a drawing for my block

- add a new attribute and hyperlinking it

- creating a block

Block1 is ok and it's hyperlinked but if I do the insert block, I don't get the hyperlink (as show on "Block Type").

Hyperlinking text would work, but I would prefer to have it as an attribute.

 

It's strange also that when I open the block, the hyperlink is there, but is not working when block is inserted.

Anyone has some idea what I'm doing wrong and how to do this properly?

The hyperlink works fine when I insert a block in your drawing, can you describe exactly the steps you take?

I'm inserting a block with insert button / insert command. 

I have just checked this on my other pc with Autocad 2021 (full) and it works there.

 

HYPERLINKOPTIONS (Command) is set to YES in both Autocads..

So, just a small update:

R.47.0.0 AutoCAD 2021 - not working

R.47.0.0 AutoCAD 2021 - working

P.46.0.0 AutoCAD LT 2019 - not working

 

On two same versions of AutoCAD I get different result, so I guess it must be some setting, it remains to know which one..
