Hyperlinks Options

    Setting hyperlinks options

  1. Go to Tools, Global Options, Hyperlinks

    The Hyperlinks dialog is displayed

  2. Icons that appear overlapped in the main view can be hidden if the Hide Colliding Icons check box is checked.

  3. Enter the distance in the Radius box for how close hyperlinks have to be in order to be drawn in the main view. Any hyperlinks further away than this distance will not be drawn. The default value of 0 means that all hyperlinks will be drawn.

  4. Check the In 3D check box if you want to draw the hyperlinks icons in 3D in the main view. They then float in 3D space just in front of their attachment points to the items. If this box is unchecked, then all hyperlink icons are drawn in 2D over the top of the all geometry.

  5. Enter the maximum number of icons to draw in the main view in the Max Icons box.

  6. Hyperlinks can be drawn with leader lines (arrows) pointing to the attachment point on the item that the hyperlink is attached to. Enter the X- and Y- distance in Leader Offset for the number of pixels to the right and up that these leader lines will use.

  7. Each hyperlink is a member of a >category. This enables you to easily manage sets of hyperlinks. Use the Visible check box to switch a category on or off in the main view. Some categories also have comments associated with them. Use the Hide Icons Without Comments check box, if available, to do exactly that - only draw hyperlinks that have a comment attached to it, so that you can see any areas of issue in the model. See for more information on comments.

  8. Use the Image and Text radio buttons for each category to tell JetStream how to draw that category of hyperlinks. If text is drawn rather than the icon, the hyperlinks description is used as a tooltip style text box in the main view instead of an icon.

  9. Click OK to set the options or Cancel to exit the dialog without setting them.
