The hyperlink works the same way as a hyperlink attached to an object. When the cursor pauses over the text, a hyperlink cursor is displayed, along with a tooltip that describes the hyperlink. Hold down the Ctrl key and click to follow the link.
Hyperlinks are used to reference a URL, a file on disk, a saved view in a drawing, or a layout in a drawing file. Hyperlinks that are in a drawing created with the Windows version of AutoCAD cannot be accessed with AutoCAD for the Mac. The hyperlink is retained as long as the field is left unchanged.
The fields that point to sheet and view titles and numbers can be assigned a hyperlink when they are created. When these items are changed or moved in the Sheet Set Manager, the hyperlinks associated with them still jump to the correct location.
Hyperlinks in fields are converted from links to DWG files into links to DWF files when published to a multi-sheet DWF file format.
