Can you view a where-used on a linked diagram?

[NAL-Linda]

I have a higher-level visio diagram and a lower-level diagram linked to it.
Is there a way to go from the lower-level diagram to the higher-level
diagrams that are pointing to it? In other words, can I list or link to the
higher level diagrams that would be pointing to this lower level diagram?

Could I ask you, what is higher-level and Lower-level, where are there, on
anther page, or another document?

 

[Scott]

When you say you want to "go from the lower-level diagram to the higher-level
diagrams" do you mean that you want to embed a hyperlink so you can click
from the lower- to the higher-level diagram? If so, you can certainly create
hyperlinks 1) from page-to-page within a diagram (if the higher- and
lower-level diagrams are in the same drawing) or 2) from one drawing to
another (if the diagrams are in separate drawing files). Use Insert/Hyperlink
or Ctrl+K to open the hyperlink dialog in order to create the hyperlinks.

If you already have the hyperlinks in place and want a "where-used" list of
links, I don't know a way to do that automatically. You can certainly write
code to create a list of all hyperlinks in a drawing but there's no reporting
function that will do it automatically as far as I know.

Scott, it soulds like you are on the money. She appears to wants a go back
button. If there is a one to one relationship between the overview drawing
and a specific detailed drawing this should be easy to do. If the detailed
drawing is referenced from several locations, this may be trickier. The
document, with a little help from some VBA, could present a a list of pages
to return to; or the hyperlink that took her to the detailed page could be
encapsulated in some code that records the name of the original page and the
detail page only needs to use this name to return. (This can also be done
with an event)
