When the transmittal package is created, the transmittal package and
transmittal report file are automatically attached to a new email.
NOTE Regardless of which folder structure option you select for the transmittal
package, any fully specified (absolute) paths of dependent files are converted to
relative paths or “no path” to ensure that the dependent files can be located by
the drawing file.
How Transmittal Packages Work with AutoCAD LT or Previous Versions of
AutoCAD
When transmittal packages are sent between different people and
organizations, it is possible that AutoCAD LT or previous versions of AutoCAD
are involved in the transmittals.
You can transmit packages between users of different AutoCAD-based products,
and you can use eTransmit to convert files to several previous DWG file
formats. In addition, transmittal packages created in AutoCAD 2005 and later
can contain sheet sets, which are not available in AutoCAD LT and earlier
versions of AutoCAD. The files in these sheet sets can still be sent and received
by AutoCAD LT and previous versions of AutoCAD, however, if you want a
more powerful, convenient method of transmitting files, the best solution is
to use sheet sets in transmittal packages.
When you convert drawings to a legacy drawing file format (AutoCAD LT
2007 or earlier), drawings containing objects that exceed the legacy large
object size limits are reported as errors in the Conversion Error Encountered
dialog box and are not converted.
Transmit Files Internationally
Beginning with AutoCAD LT 2007, the names of the files generated by
AutoCAD-based products use Unicode standards and can be shared
internationally. However, eTransmit uses WinZip technology to create
transmittal packages. Because WinZip currently is not a Unicode-compliant
application, it is recommended that you use one of the following alternatives:
■ Transmit files individually.
■ Use eTransmit to create a folder containing the files to be transmitted and
copy the folder to a shared server.
■ Package the files using a commercial Unicode-compliant application.
■ Make sure all file names use hexidecimal values below 80 before using
eTransmit.
