Common Causes/Issues:
- You would like to reference or link an Autodesk command to guide users in the context of what they are learning.
Solution Overview:
- To create a tool link that fires off an Autodesk command, you must have the applicable Autodesk software open on your system e.g. AutoCAD, Revit or Civil 3D.
Tactical Rundown:
- Before you can place a tool link you must create it first. Under document/workflow/task tools you will see a "+New" button.
- Under the type drop down menu select "Run CAD Command" or "Run Civil 3D Command" or "Run Revit Command".
- Inside the New Tool window give your command a name and click Browse whilst the software is open on your system.
- You can now search for the command.
- In the case of Civil 3D, you can browse the menu structure to select a command, or simply use the command macro. If you are entering the macro, you can string multiple commands together.
- You can now click apply to confirm your selection or click test to make sure the selected command is working as expected.
- Once you have added tools to your asset, you can insert the tool into the context of the description.
- Use the Hammer or type your tool name into the description and Pinnacle Series will resolve it after Refreshing.
- Click OK to save your changes.
- In the Pinnacle Series portal, when a link is clicked, the associated tool will fire-up. Use the entire collection of tool links to help users be more efficient while remaining on task.
