You have more issues than you realize. You have only one attribute, create 2 more. One for type, e.g. rocks, trees and a second for the placeholder for the hyperlink.

Suggestions to improve your block and concerns you should address in your drawing. Address them and you'll be fine.

  • Your block is an anonymous block. You can tell by the $ signs in the block's current name. Give it a name, especially if you plan on using it other drawings over a period of time.
  • You have assigned Arial font to Standard Text Style. Create a brand new text style, name it 'Arial' and give it Arial font. Over writing the Standard Text Style with the Arial font will not only cause issues with this block's font but may also create issues with mtext used throughout your drawing when you cut-and-paste. The issue may also surface if you email your drawing to other colleagues or to other firms who have not over written their Standard Text Style with the Arial font.
  • You have combined a block that has a single attribute, ID, with mtext. The current attribute, named ID, is a capital letter such as A, B or C. Examples of the mtext you're using are Rocks and Trees. You should incorporate the mtext as an attribute too just like incorporating the hyperlink's url address as an attribute. In the grand scheme of things, you'll have 3 attributes instead of just one: 1) ID, 2) Type, and 3) Hyperlink. Doing it this way will eliminate the need for the mtext and make using your block more efficient.

The hyperlink is not a common operation in AutoCad drafting, it's a feature capable of things not normally seen, or typically used, in other drawings or other programs. The issues above overshadow the sophistication of your hyperlink. It's like driving a bright red Ferrari 488 Pista to a restaurant and handing the valet your keys when you're wearing a t-shirt, raggedy shorts and flip-flops.
