Navigating hotspots

You can click hotspots in the viewer window to navigate quickly to related documents or objects or to show related text. Hotspots can be created manually as described in Creating and editing hotspots.

Before you begin

Viewing hotspots requires that one of the AutoVue viewers be the active viewer for the selected document and that the hotspots are visible. For information on configuring the viewer for different file formats, see Changing viewers.

To navigate drawing tag hotspots:

1. In the viewer window toolbar, click Hide/Show Hotspots . A blue rectangle appears for each hotspot. To hide the hotspots, click Hide/Show Hotspots again.

   Tip    If the document contains a lot of blue entities that making distinguishing the hotspots difficult, you might want to turn off display of some blue colored layers.

2. To navigate to a linked object or display related text:
   • Click anywhere within the hotspot.

     If the hotspot is linked to related text, the text is shown but the selected document remains open in the viewer window.

     If the hotspot is linked to a document or object, it is opened in the viewer window.

     If so configured by a system administrator, a Select Destination dialog will appear showing the linked object and the other vault objects that it references. Select a destination object and click OK.
