Hotpoints

Hotpoints are circular, interactive callouts located on an illustrated parts diagram.

If you click on a hotpoint, it will highlight the corresponding part in the bill of material (BOM), as well as open a hotpoint preview of the associated part attributes, such as: part number and name, and icons that indicate if there are related items, comments, or tags associated to the part.

 Hotpoint Links

Hotpoint links, denoted by a square callout, extend the capabilities of a standard hotpoint. A hotpoint link’s function is to provide a clickable link that leads users to associated media, chapters or pages.

Note: The example above shows both that a hotpoint item number 
can be tied to multiple parts and that one hotpoint link can 
be linked to multiple destinations.
