I don't use hyperlinks in ACAD for my application so I am illiterate on the subject, but a friend of mine in Salt Lake wants to.
His setup is full ACAD 2012
No idea of system specs
Here is his question:
================
I am trying to create a hyperlink in AutoCad. It is basically attaching information on existing blocks. ie. a Phoenix Contact Power Supply with attached .pdf file to it's datasheets that I have created.
The problem - I can do this on my computer but I get an error message - bad file extension - when trying to receive the file. I can go directly and open the .pdf file where I saved it but trying to do it through the AutoCad hyperlink I get the error.
I wanted to factor out some issues so I tried to do the same thing on Vernon's [the boss] computer and it worked with no issues.
So, the problem is with my office computer here at work.
Question - what could be causing the error message of "bad file extension"? What should I check?
==============
I have searched HELP but there is only the description that I found.
Found an AUGI link that suggests that the file extension is not registered
A little help here, plz
TIA
