Enable Hyperlinking for AutoText References in Published PDFs

[Jose_Ortez]

I’m writing to request a feature enhancement in ArchiCAD 28. Currently, section markers and detail references are hyperlinked when publishing a multi-page PDF, which is incredibly helpful for navigation. However, AutoText references—such as those pointing to other sheets (e.g., “1/A501”)—do not generate hyperlinks in the published PDF.

This limitation affects documentation workflows, especially when AutoText is used to maintain consistency across layouts. It would be highly beneficial if AutoText could support hyperlinking to referenced sheets or views in the same way that markers do.

Ideally, this could be implemented either natively or through scripting/API access.

Thank you for considering this request.

Allow hyper links in general - i.e to websites.

Sure you can type the full website address and that will link (in a pdf) but allow us to abbreviate the link to just "basin" for example.

hyperlink into the tile block that works once the drawings have been PDFed. Add option in Autotext?

I merged your wish with this one (you can vote for this now), because it is essentially the same wish - just not specifically for hyperlink in title block.

You can type the full web address as text as I mentioned and that will link in a PDF.

The problem with hyper links is they do not work on paper.

However a QR code does, you can scan from screen or paper.

I use QR codes in my title blocks to link to the company website.
