Layout Hyperlink to latest drawing version file

Layout Hyperlink to latest drawing version file

Layout Hyperlink to latest drawing version file

(OP)
Hi everyone!!       [  first time here :) ]

Im trying to set a hyperlink on a layout that opens the latest file of a certain drawing.
Ex.: C:/folder/folder/file.drw.250

But if i need to change the drawing for some reason, the version of the drawing gets to drw.251, witch means that the link that i´ve set before does not work anymore...

Any help on how to open the latest file version with an layout hyperlink?

Best Regards,
P.Fiúza

RE: Layout Hyperlink to latest drawing version file

Leave off the file version number. Link file.drw to your layout and let Pro/E resolve the version.

Hi looslib !

Thanks for that tip.
Actually i had already tryied that but i just forgot to put the last dot on the file name. see below.
       WRONG - c:\...\file_name.drw
       WORKING - c:\...\file_name.drw.

Can you imagine how stupid i felt?!

That little dot at the end is a major diference...
Thanks a lot for your time!

Well, this doesn´t work afterall..

i´ve tried to put it this way:

      c:\....\file_x.drw
      c:\....\file_x.drw.
      c:\....\file_x.drw.***

neither of these are working.
is there a variable on config pro that can influence hyperlinks?

Thanks
