Include Instructions to the Recipient
A report file is automatically generated that includes a list of files in the
transmittal package. The report also includes instructions describing what
must be done with drawing-dependent files such as xrefs and font files so that
they are usable with the included drawing files. You can also add your own
notes to the report file.
Save Transmittal Setups
You will probably send transmittal packages multiple times during a project.
The 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. The default transmittal setup is named Standard.
Choose Transmittal Options
Several options are available for the transmittal package using transmittal
setups. With these options, you can
■ Package the transmittal package in a ZIP file, in a self-extracting EXE file,
or in a folder that is copied to a specified location.
■ Specify that the folder structure of the transmitted files be organized in a
logical hierarchy, flattened into a single folder, or copied “as is” to the
recipient's computer. If you specify an FTP or HTTP destination, the
transmittal package uses the single folder option.
■ Add password protection to the transmittal package, bind xrefs
automatically, set the default plotter to “none,” and other options.
After you create the transmittal package, you can post it to an Internet location
or send it to others as an email attachment. If you want to send the transmittal
package in an email, you can use an option in the Modify Transmittal Setup
dialog box that automatically launches your default system email application.
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.
