AboutScott Cook Expertise I`ve been using AutoCAD since 1987 and programming AutoLISP nearly as long. I can answer questions about programming AutoCAD (except ARX) and production enhancement techniques. I cannot answer questions about AutoCAD crashes or DWG corruption. AutoCAD PROGRAMMING (menus, lisp) related questions only!

PROGRAMMING QUESTIONS ONLY PLEASE. Questions that are NOT related to programming or AutoCAD customization (menus and lisp only please) are outside the scope of my volunteer services and will NOT BE ANSWERED.

In AutoCAD 2005 to open a hyperlink you can
Select the item > Ctrl Right Click and it opens the hyperlink
Is it possible to emulate this in AutoCAD 2004 via AutoLISP or a macro?
Thanks,

Answer you can start a browser with the BROWSER command. you should also be able to do something like:
(command "shell" (strcat "iexplore " "urltoopen"))
you might need to play with it a bit (put on the .exe, or provide the path to the file). be sure to leave the space in there.
