Use a Hyperlink to Create an Email Message
Typically you use hyperlinks in a drawing to associate graphical objects with
related documents. In some cases, however, it might be useful to insert a
hyperlink that creates an email message when the hyperlink is activated.
For example, consider a design project with several drafters responsible for
updating different components of a drawing. As drafters add new compo-
nents 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 From the Insert menu, choose 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 Choose 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.
