Title: Hyperlinks with Commands?
Post by: MSTG007 on December 19, 2019, 03:57:27 PM

This is another off the wall question.

I know you can attach a hyperlink to an object or text. Select the control button and then the object to launch it.

Is there anyway to do the same except have it run an autocad command?

Not that I'm aware of .... why would you want to do this?

Here is my example. I have a title sheet or cover sheet. In certain areas of that sheet, a certain command would be needed.

For example. There would be a box or border for a location map. I could click that object which would run the command that would turn on autocad geolocation map.

That’s why I thought it was an off the wall question, but an interesting idea.

A custom command that runs on a double click action would be your best bet.

If the block is a certain name then run command
otherwise do the normal double click action
