Sheet links
Make a markup jump to another sheet, and turn every sheet callout like 3/A-501 into a link in one pass.
Written for MarkupCraft 0.4. The same help is inside the app: press F1.
A sheet link takes you from a markup to another sheet of the set: from a detail bubble to the detail, from a note to the sheet it refers to.
Link a markup to a sheet
- Select the markup.
- In Properties, pick the sheet under Link to sheet.
A small arrow appears at the markup's top right. To follow it, hold ⌘Ctrl and click the markup, or select it and choose Go to … in Properties. ⌥←Alt+← goes back to the sheet you came from.
A link names the sheet by its number, so it still works after you reopen the set or slip-sheet a new issue: it opens the newest sheet with that number. If that sheet is not open, the status bar says so.
Link every sheet callout at once
- Open Find text at the top of the Sheets panel and choose Link sheet callouts….
- MarkupCraft reads the text of every sheet and lists each callout that names another open sheet, such as "3/A-501", "A-501" or "2 / A501". Callouts already linked, and a sheet's own number in its title block, are left out.
- Untick any you do not want, then choose Create the links.
Each callout gets a thin blue box that is a sheet link. One ⌘ZCtrl+Z removes them all.
Sheets need numbers for this: from their title block, their page label, or Rename sheet. Scanned sheets have no text to read; link their callouts one by one.
In the saved PDF
A link to a sheet in the same PDF is also written as a PDF link, so other viewers jump there on a click too. Links to a sheet in another file of the set work in MarkupCraft only.
