Typically you use hyperlinks
in a drawing to associate graphical objects with related documents.
In some cases, however, it might be useful to insert a hyperlink
that creates an email message when the hyperlink is activated.
For example, consider a design project with
several drafters responsible for updating different components of
a drawing. As drafters add new components to the drawing, they can
associate hyperlinks that include their email addresses with the
components. This provides a convenient way to identify who created
various drawing components and to send that person an email message
with any design-related issues.
To create an email hyperlink
- In the drawing area, select one or more
graphical objects to attach the hyperlink to.
- In the Insert Hyperlink dialog box, under
Link To, click E-mail Address.
- Enter the recipient's address in E-mail
Address.
- (Optional) Specify a subject for the
email message in Subject.
- Click OK.
When you open an email hyperlink, your default
email application creates a new email message with the address and
subject (if specified) filled out. You can then enter message text
and send it by email.
