Linking URL shapes to internal and external resources

You can create independent links to URL shapes within and outside a sketch, or you can add links to URL shapes that point to resources within and outside a sketch.

Before you begin

You must have a sketch diagram open.

Procedure

You can apply only one link to a URL shape at a time.

  1. On the URL shape, click Set Link.
  2. In the URL dialog box, set the link by completing one of the following steps:
    • Specify an external link.
    • Search for another sketch and use the path as the link.
  3. Optional: Change the shape’s label to a valid URL address. If no URL property is set, the shape’s label is used instead.

Results

Now you can click the label to go to that link. You can click the area around the label to select the link shape and open its toolbar.
