3684.0. "Bookreader hot-spots?" by TROA02::WEAVER () Mon Nov 19 1990 12:40

    I though I would post this here since the BULOVA::DECWINDOWS conference
    appears to have died (No notes for a long time).
    
    I demonstrated DECview3D, DECwrite and Bookreader to Dupont (the
    chemical giant) on Friday for use in the publication of online
    procedures and maintenance manuals. They were very impressed with the
    tools (especially live links between CAD drawings - DECview3D -
    DECwrite).
    
    They also liked Bookreader as and end user tool for viewing the
    publications. They liked the hot spot concept for viewing CAD figures
    annotated with DECview3D however they wondered if it would ever be
    possible to actually invoke DECview3D from Bookreader in the same way
    as you use Live Application links from DECwrite (hot-spot to
    application). The user clicks on a Figure hot-spot and up comes
    DECview3d with the drawing to allow them to zoom etc.
    
    Will this ever be possible? Could this could be custom coded? How much
    effort would it be to include this functionality in Bookreader?
    
    Thanks.

    Presumably you meant the BOOKREADER conference.  (This here *is* the
    DECWINDOWS conference.)
    
    I suggest you do a SET SEEN/BEFORE=some-date when you're in the
    BOOKREADER conference to catch up on notes written since then.
