Hyperlinks

Hyperlinks are an extremely useful review tool to allow you to access non-graphical information through the graphical interface of JetStream. As well as hyperlinks being converted from the native CAD files you open in Roamer, you can also "override" an item's hyperlinks by attaching multiple additional hyperlinks to it. Because hyperlinks are treated as a property by JetStream, they can be searched on with the Find Items tool and displayed in the Properties bar. They are also saved into JetStream files so that as the model changes, the links remain for you and others to view.

Hyperlinks are categorized so that you can switch them on and off by category, and they can be anything internal (such as a viewpoints or selection set) or external (such as a web page, script, or spreadsheet) to JetStream. By turning on hyperlinks in the main navigation window, you can simply click on the link to activate it. Hyperlinks can be displayed as a text description, or as an icon and can also optionally have leader lines pointing to points on the item to help you identify which item has the link attached.
