sets. Using these tabs, you can view and change the files to be included in the
transmittal package.
■ Sheets. This tab is available only when a sheet set is open. It displays a
hierarchical list of sheets in the current sheet set. When you check a sheet,
all dependent files are automatically included in the transmittal package.
■ Files Tree. This tab displays a list of files. You can expand or collapse each
drawing file in the list to display its dependent files. By default, dependent
files are automatically included in the transmittal package unless you
uncheck them.
■ Files Table. This tab displays a table of files, their folder locations, and file
details. Each file can be checked or unchecked, providing the most direct
control over the contents of the transmittal package. Files are not
automatically checked or unchecked.
The following table lists the common file types that are automatically added
to a transmittal package. You can choose to remove any of the files
automatically added and you can manually add additional files that you want
included in the transmittal package.
