Brian Nitz Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 I'm looking to see if there is a way to pull up device data/records while looking at a device in the published/exported PDF. Currently, my company is using records to store IP and software keys info in each specific device and create reports to keep track. However, in the interest of making everything as simple as possible, I'm looking to see if there is any way to hyperlink the data to the device, much like how clicking circuit arrows/bubbles takes you to the opposite end in the PDF of the drawing.

Vectorworks, Inc Employee Nikolay Zhelyazkov Posted August 28 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted August 28 Hello @Brian Nitz, You can add linked texts in your device by double clicking on it and creating text objects and selecting linked text in the bottom of the OIP. These texts can display data from attached records. Is this what you are looking for? Best Regards, Nikolay Zhelyazkov Quote Link to comment

Preferably I would like the data to stay hidden until the device is clicked on or mouse-over in the PDF form or have it go to a page where the corresponding report with the data is.
