Thanks Michael and Cadtag. Not sure if I'll go the route of Document View but I appreciate the explanation. I remember seeing the commands now, never had a use for it.

Here is an example of a usage I have seen implemented.


A Power Co-op, purchases items (poles, transformers, switches, etc)
Those items are assigned an asset tag
once in the facility storage-that tag, that item, and it's purchase data are all connected within MAP/asset database
once installed, actual location is entered with GPS, and all records including installation/inspection notes are attached to the object. This even included photos of the objects
after installation.

The end result is that the entire history and records of their assets are linked to those assets.
Turning part of their GIS process into an asset management tool.
As well as being able to source replacement parts from the nearest storage location when the need to replace or upgrade components occurred.
Be your Best

Instead of hyperlink, I would suggest use MAP function Link to Document where document=source image
Forgive my ignorance what is "Link to Document"? I don't know this function and didn't find it in the help
Looking for the exact command; however it appears that autodesk may have removed or renamed this command function.

read all that, thus my statement, "I always thought that was..."
given that I'm not paid to know the differences between members of the Blue Collar or Redneck comedy tour, I think I'm OK with getting that wrong.

OR as I used to tell a couple of ladies, "As long as it isn't dark, and we aren't both naked and sweaty when I get your name wrong it's OK"
