For example, consider a design project with several drafters responsible for
updating different components of a drawing. As drafters add new components
to the drawing, they can associate hyperlinks that include their email addresses
with the components. This provides a convenient way to identify who created
various drawing components and to send that person an email message with
any design-related issues.
To create an email hyperlink
1 In the drawing area, select one or more graphical objects to attach the
hyperlink to.
2 Click Blocks & References tab ➤ Data panel ➤ Hyperlink.
3 In the Insert Hyperlink dialog box, under Link To, click E-mail Address.
4 Enter the recipient's address in E-mail Address.
5 (Optional) Specify a subject for the email message in Subject.
6 Click OK.
When you open an email hyperlink, your default email application creates
a new email message with the address and subject (if specified) filled out.
You can then enter message text and send it by email.
