hotspot graphic

After loading the cgm file into frame maker i have to link the hot spot in the graphic to the text part in the frame maker file.

I am not getting the hot spot link defined by the illustrator in the graphic.

Sample cgm file in the below path

C:\Program Files\Adobe\AdobeFrameMaker12\Structure\xml\S1000D\Resources\install\Bike\samples\illustr ations\ICN-S1000DBIKE-AAA-D000000-0-U8025-00536-A-04-1.cgm

Thank you in advance

Anil

    Hotspots imported from CGM graphic (or a PDF) unfortunately get stripped out by FM's import filters [known issue].

    There was vigorous discussion in November of 2012 by the beta-testers about this after the FM11-release for inclusion in FM12, but it looks like nothing much came of it [ i.e. too much work or too difficult for the engineers  ].

    Thank you very much for the confirmation, that hot spot will not survive by importing the cgm to framemaker.

    You need to first define the target location of the link, i.e. you insert a "newlink target-name" hypertext marker at the destination location.

    Then you select the imported graphic and use either the context or Graphics menu to select the HotSpot Properties... option.

    Finally select the desired destination marker (that you already have inserted) to make the link.

    Arnis, if this is just a continuation of this earlier thread:

    hot spot in frame maker 12 for CGM file

    then the issue is that the CGM already has hot spots, but they are not surviving into the workflow.
