AutoLink Symbols
autoLink allows you to transform a generic annotation into a self-updating view reference, making it possible to create almost anything as a view reference and have it update automatically. Below are a few generic annotation families to give you some ideas and get you started. They are free so please use and modify them as much as you like! If you need a version older than those shown please contact Revolution Design.
There are two feedback styles used in these families and they show two possible methods of error handling:
- Color Feedback – Families with color feedback show errors and broken links by changing colors. If the referenced view is no longer on a sheet, the reference turns orange. If the view is deleted altogether the reference turns red.
- Symbol Feedback – Families with symbol feedback show errors and broken links by causing small markers to appear near the symbol. If the referenced view is no longer on a sheet a yellow ‘warning’ triangle with an exclamation point appears; if the view is deleted a red stop sign appears with the text ‘E!’.
