Hyperlinks I think

William Alexander

I have a set of plans w mutiple pages. the person who created the plans did not have it set up to link the details to the sheet the detail is on. the details symbols look like that which i attached. I have tried to follow the BB instructions, watch videos, read google questions all to no avail. Some info out there conflicts w others. My question is how do I set up my document(s) so when i click on a detail it takes me to the page that detail is on. I want to set up the doc so every place i have the detail symbol the doc jumps to that page. I will buy whoever can help me a giant pizza or sandwich or whatever if they can help me through this.

So normally your answer would be batch link, but I am guessing that you have tried, and get hyperlinks all over the place. Process usually goes down like this: open batch link, include all files in the set; tell it to look at page number, in my case it's usually something like M1.01; then you "Generate" the links, it produces a list of all times the page numbers it found appear in the documents, then you apply. Unfortunately the page number of your detail seems to be "12" which I can only assume will pop up alot more than a term like M1.01. I think your best option is to go through the batch link, then go to your links panel and try to delete links that you don't need in batches. There is also the manual process, shift+H brings you to "link" mode, and you should be able to place a link by clicking and dragging over the target, then it will give you a pop up. I recommend relative links (option in the menu) so that if your files move locations, as long as they have the same folder structure in the new location, the links will work.
