GOTOURL
Opens the file or web page associated with the hyperlink attached to an
object.
HYPERLINK
Attaches a hyperlink to an object or modifies an existing hyperlink.
Use a Hyperlink to Start a New Drawing
When you activate a hyperlink that points to a drawing template (DWT) file,
a new drawing file is created based on the template rather than opening the
actual template file.
This provides a convenient mechanism for creating a set of standardized
drawing templates that you can share with others. Because the hyperlinked
template files open a new drawing, there is no risk of others accidentally
overwriting the original template.
To open a drawing template (DWT) file associated with a hyperlink
1 In the drawing area, select a graphical object with an attached hyperlink
to a DWT file.
2 Use one of the following methods to follow the link:
■ Hold down the CTRL key and click.
■ Right-click. Click Hyperlink. Select the name of the hyperlink you
want. Each hyperlink has either a description or the full URL to the
referenced file.
A new drawing opens based on the hyperlinked DWT file.
NOTE If you have turned off display of the hyperlink cursor, Hyperlink options
are not available on the shortcut menu. You can turn on the hyperlink cursor,
tooltips, and shortcut menu in the Options dialog box on the User Preferences
tab.
