AutoCAD eTransmit

Going back spontaneously with our AutoCAD tips and tricks. let us now talk about eTransmit function. The AutoCAD eTransmit command allows you to make a package set of files for internet transmission including all dependent files such as xrefs, images and font files. This command put you at ease while sending drawing files because sometimes we fail to include all the associated files like xrefs, images and font sizes. In most cases, failure to include those files makes the file unusable for the recipient and makes it hard to understand. It takes more time to realize or empathizing the idea of the design. With eTransmit, dependent files are automatically included in the transmittal package making it usable and more reliable.

Choosing files for transmittal. In choosing files to be package, under the Create Transmittal dialog box, it displays two tabs option for individual drawing files and/or three tabs option for sheet sets and drawing files that are referenced by sheet sets. Using these options, you can view and change the files to be included in the package. These tab options are sheets, files tree and files table. In sheets option, this is only available when a sheet set is open in the drawing. Use this options to automatically include all referenced files for transmittal package. Next is the files tree tab/option, in this option you can expand and collapse each drawing and choose the files to be included in the transmittal. By default, it includes all the referenced files in it. Last is the files table tab/option. This option gives you the most direct control over the files to be transmitted. You need to checked all the files to be included in the package which differs from the files tree tab option wherein files are automatically included.

The files that area automatically included in the transmittal are files type like: *.dwg, various image file types (i.e., jpeg, bmp, png, etc.), *.dgn, *.dwf, *.dwfx, *.pdf, *.dxe, *.xls,  *.fmp, *.ctb, *.stb, *.pc3, *.dwt, *.dst, and *.dws. While the following file types are types of files which are not automatically added to a transmittal package like *.arx, *.dbx, *.lsp, *.vlx, *.dvb, *.dll, *.shx, *.ttf, *.pfa/*.pfb, *.pat, *.lin, *.mln, *.pmp, *.unt, *.pss, OLE objects (linked files), Rtext objects (linked files), *.xls (miscrosoft excel files).

In creating a transmittal package, you can also include your own instruction or note to the recipient so he can fully understand what must be done drawing-dependent files such as x-refs and font files so they are usable for future revisions. In saving a transmittal package, eTransmit feature provides a method to name and save your transmittal settings as transmittal setups. The Transmittal Setups dialog box displays a list of saved transmittal setups from which you can select each time you transmit a set of files. It is like creating a new layout for the drawing. The default transmittal setup is named Standard.

Start of Ramadan

This year, the holy month of Ramadan starts as early as August 1, according to Muslim philosophers. This is based according on sighting of the new moon. Ramadan is the ninth month in the lunar calendar which is eleven days shorter that the solar calendar used elsewhere, where in Islamic holidays move each year.  During the holy month of Ramadan, Muslims refrain from eating, drinking and having sexual intercourse with husband and wife. This month was marked for praying, charity and fasting. This year Ramadan precedes Christmas and Hanukkah. But while in many places these holidays have become widely commercialized, Ramadan retains its focus on self-sacrifice and devotion to Allah (God).

Muslims believe that during this month, the first verse of the Holy  Qur'an was revealed, the holy book of Islam. Around 610 A.D., a caravan trader named Mohammad took to wandering the desert near Mecca (in today's Saudi Arabia) while thinking about his faith. One night a voice called to him from the sky. It was the angel Gabriel, who told Muhammad he had been chosen to receive the word of Allah. In the days that followed, Muhammad found himself speaking the verses that would be transcribed as the Qur'an.

Fasting or 'sowm" during Ramadan is essential because it is one of the five pillars that governs Islam. That means, they refrain from eating, drinking, sexual intercourse and even doing bad things. They should devote this holy month to the creator, Allah. Fasting starts after they've eaten the first meal, called suhoor before the sun rises and ended after the sun sets and eaten iftar. For them, fasting serves many purposes as they learn to practice self-control and being reminded by th suffering of the poor and needy. They also believe that fasting helps to cleanse body and mind from stress.

Ramadan ends with a festival called "Eid-Al Fitr" or "Breaking of the Fast".  Muslims dress in their finest clothes and decorates their homes with lights and decorations, giving treats to children and visiting friends and family. A sense of generosity and hospitality gives color to this kind of festivities.

Naruto Shippuuden : My Anime

          I've been a fan of this anime since I was in high school. I always bought Naruto things and stuff just to satisfy my needs and my habit. I always dream of being a ninja. I adore their abilities and they their skills. I always love them, my favorite creatures of all time. Thinking that being a ninja is cool and full of adventures. They are strong and they moves very fast, they can even hide in the shadows. I love everything about being a ninja. When ninja moves, they always flip out. They are so flexible. That is why I always imagine myself doing those things. So I just express my amazement in buying and watching Naruto stuff. Because in reality, whatever I do, I can never be the same as them. Unless, reality is the same as animation, every time you fall and get hurt so badly, you'll not gonna die or gonna get bruised, you'll just get too much bandage all over your body. It seems like life in anime is  funnier and full of excitement. You can do all those stuff in your face, your body and even in your actions. If life is like this, I want to be immortal. Living a peaceful and cheerful life like that, what else could you ask for? For me, no more.

          Naruto is just a simple kid with a simple dream, becoming a Hokage (head of the village) someday. But because of his nature and condition, kids from the village keeps on avoiding him because according to folktale,  the monster who destroyed their village 16 years ago was locked and sealed inside him. This sealing idea was made and done by his very own father, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze. Minato believe that Naruto can somehow learn how to control the power of the Nine-Tailed Fox Monster inside him. He also believed that in the past 16 years, the attacked made by the tailed-beast was not a coincidence and someone behind it and someone is controlling the tailed-beast. This was the time Naruto was born. The host of the tailed-beast, her mother Kushina Uzumaki, was weakened after giving birth to Naruto and the seal that locks the monster inside her was weakening also, so the villains started moving and started to control the monster causing ravage in the village using his own power, and its Madara Uchiha. The story follows this trail until the end, up until now, this anime is still on-going and I can't wait to see and watch the end of it... Stay tuned... ☺

Facebook plus Work

Facebook, is now the most famous social-networking site that gives you updates about the latest happenings and events with your family, friends and community. This also allows you to chat and makes video call with them. It makes life more easier especially for those working abroad. We can connect and talk to them anytime.


Work, is the occupation which we are being paid for or the activity directed toward making or doing something. Most specifically, our job. This outsource our daily necessity but of course together with our hardworking skill. A career we need to fulfill our tasks and goals in life. Everybody wishes to get a good and better but descent one. In this factor, we put most of our effort to be noticed and recognized.


But what if we try mixing both, facebook and work? What do you think would be the outcome? Of course, an easier and less-stressed job! But be sure not to be caught by your boss or else you'll get a memo. At this way you'll be able to work hard and at the same time, you can chat or view your friends' updates.

It is fun and exciting because you'll so focused on your work yet you were also focus on reading updates of your friends at the same time.

Aside from less stress job, you won't feel boredom at all. Even if you are far away from your friends, you can still chat and talk to them. Try this and you'll find a little bit of happiness.
