    Hello
    i have defined several photos as iFeatures per point. Now I have exported the data as SHP to keep the link created in the field. I would have expected a hyperlink, unfortunately only the photo name is in the attributes as text. The zip & the photos are in the same folder.
    What is the reason for this? Or is this the only way to do it in Penmap for Android?

    Hello Nadine,

     

    Penmap reference to a picture in an attribute via the photo name.

     

    This can be used as hyperlink in ArcMap for example.

    To do so you have to enable Hyperlinks in the Layer Properties

    And define the Hyperlink path via File > Map Document Properties and enter the picture location

    Now you will have the Hyperlink icon available:

    Select the Hyperlink and click on your feature to view the picture.

     

    Have a nice weekend
