Custom Hyperlink in Drawing

Would anyone know how you could build a Hyperlink to be shown on a
drawing that would link a custom field from a part eg: Part Number
98917625. The hyperlink would actually look like

m1bjectartexplorer:98917625
This would not be http: as this (m1bjectartexplorer:98917625) links
to our ERP system.

You mean you have a model attribute that you want to use in a link in a
drawing? How about a simple macro that reads the model attribute and
runs the needed command?

 

No. When i save as a PDF i need the drawing/part number on the drawing
to be a hyperlink and link back to our ERP system

 

Ok, can your ERP open files like this:

...\WINDOWS\NOTEPAD.EXE c:\temp\file.txt

This works as on hyperlink in SW. Otherwise...quite difficult thing to
do I guess, but I see that it would be very usefull.

 

Hi Damian,

How long have you been using M1 with Solidworks? We just purchased M1,
and are very happy with it. I've been planning on integrating the two,
especially with PDMWorks. Do you have any advice or recommendations on
working with them together?

Thanks,
Daniel

 

Hi Danial
We have been using M1 for just on 12 months. We were using Redthorn
before that. We dont have PDMWorks as we only have a small drawing
office. What industry are you in adn where are you located. We are in
the sheetmetal industry based in Melbourne Aus.

 

There are a product, which can add Links in a PDF document:
Autolink is a plug-in for Adobe and seach for defined text strings and add
automatically links to these strings.

There is also a function in Solidworks for adding a hyperlink (under tools),
mabey someone can make a macro to automate this.

Damian,

We are in Maine in the US. We manufacture Metal Marking Equipment. If
you ever get an answer to your question, please post it here. I'm
really interested in making PDMWorks or SolidWorks work with M1. I'm
going to take the M1 Customization Class in a couple months, and then
work on integrating them together.

Thanks,
Daniel
