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.
