Hyperlinks to saved views in other drawing

[codyC2QXC]

In this video the presenter shows and claims you can make hyperlinks to views in other drawings shared by sheet set manager. He never really explains how though. I can only find an option to link to views in the same drawing? Is this a thing? And if so can someone please help me figure it out?

In Sheet set manager you have the ability to categorize and order AutoCAD saved views. On the sheet set palette you will see three tabs. Model views are typically your model space for civil engineers,  plan object and maybe detailed  object s. These  are typically xrefs. You want to associate them to the SSM. So you have a site plan, you save that view now this view can be dragged onto a sheet (paper space layout). When dragged and dropped onto Sheet it creates the vport (options to set scale are given) and xref(s) attached ( or used if previously attached. This view is now listed on the sheet view tab where you can enumerate and or rename, and this is the info that goes into the label block. These are special blocks You create ( they don't come all done for you) your blocks one for labeling the view and one  for cross referencing the view with the sheet it is on for plan call outs.

These are very helpful for plan call outs. I said one for this and one for that but you ar not limited. You are only limited by you imagination.

If you can find the PDF "SHEETS HAPPEN"  by Heidi Hewett grab  it. its hard to get for some reason. but you can scour autodesk and the that convention they have oh yea AU for some papers most will probably plagiarize Heidi's Paper with is the best.

Start your HyperLink command, pick the object. On the dialog, pick Browse for File...Pick the file that has a model space view. Now pick Target...Expand until you see your view within the Model collection. That's all you need.

Thanks a lot. I never noticed that check box when defining the field. That was a very clear response from an old dog master.
