The tabs in the Create Transmittal dialog box control which files are included
in the transmittal package.
■ On the Sheet List tab, you can easily control which of the listed sheets are
to be transmitted by selecting or clearing the boxes next to the sheet names.
■ On the Files Tree tab and the Files Table tab, you can add or remove
drawing files and dependent files that are listed. You can also add or remove
any other files.
NOTE If several sheets come from the same drawing file, only the first sheet
associated with the drawing can be selected with a check mark or cleared of its
selection on the Sheet List tab. The other sheets will not be available. For this
reason, it is recommended that you create only one layout tab in each 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 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 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
