Ever sent a drawing to a colleague, only to get a message back that the xrefs are missing? Or the font is wrong? AutoCAD eTransmit exists to prevent exactly that. It bundles a drawing together with everything it depends on, including xrefs, images, fonts, plot styles, and other referenced files, into a single package that’s ready to send. Most people use it with default settings and never look further, but there are some features in the dialog that a casual user may not be aware of. Today, I’m going to walk through them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to open AutoCAD eTransmit and use Transmittal Setups<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First things first. You can find eTransmit in the Application Menu (the big red A in the corner), within the Publish fly-out menu. Or you can be like me and type in ET from the command line or dynamic input box. eTransmit will be your first option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Create Transmittal dialog will appear. You\u2019ll see the files tree, where all of the references and support files will be displayed. You\u2019ll also select other drawings to transmit here. On the right, there will be a list of saved transmittal setups, with Standard being the default option. Below that is a very important button: the Transmittal Setups<\/em> button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Clicking it displays a small dialog that allows you to create or remove setups, rename them, or, most importantly, Modify them. Choose the setup that you want, and click the Modify button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, as a CAD Manager I would rarely create new setups, but would just modify Standard to my current needs. I would always check the settings first anyway, so I found no point in predefining them. As always, your mileage may vary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Transmittal Setup options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the Modify Transmittal Setup<\/em> dialog will appear. This is where the rubber meets the road. There are four panels in the dialog: The type and location, path options, other actions, and what types of entities get included in the transmittal package. Let\u2019s look at each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

First up is the type and location. You can write the files to a folder (or folders), or have it create a Zip file for you. Your choice. Note that if you select to make a Zip file, the bottom file name option will become disabled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your next choice is the file format. You can keep the files in their current DWG format, or save down to anything from 2000 on. I\u2019ve had clients that require a certain format \u2013 it happens. This is also a convenient way to batch file format change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below that is a checkbox for visual fidelity. Please click the info icon next to it for a detailed explanation, but typically, leave it checked, especially if you use annotative objects. If you don\u2019t, it won\u2019t matter anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, define where the files you\u2019re creating will be saved. Only you know where this will be, but please choose wisely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Next is the path options section. This section is very important. When the transmittal reaches its destination (let\u2019s say another company), how do they see it? How do the references resolve?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can create an organized folder structure that is the same as your project. It is also the default. You\u2019ll simply need to specify the root folder of the project. This option is for references that utilize relative pathing. The recipient can place it in any folder structure that they want, and everything will resolve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bottom two options are for those who do not use relative pathing. You can keep them \u201cas is\u201d, in which case the recipient will need to make sure they have a duplicate server drive setup as you do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or, you can specify that the new files will all be written into a single folder. Why would you do that? Since they all have hard-coded reference paths, how will they resolve? Before considering the save path, AutoCAD always looks in the current folder for the reference, and if not found, only then does it try the saved path. This option lets you get away with the not-so-great option of hard-coded pathing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Moving on the upper right section, you have some checkbox options to choose from, a couple of which are what I consider just being a friendly transmitter. Unless you have a firm directive to do otherwise, please set the default plotter to \u201cnone\u201d and purge the drawings as you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That leaves us with Bind External References. Much like using the save format as a batch save-down tool, this option can be used as a batch binding tool. Selecting this option will allow you to bind as a \u201cbind\u201d or an \u201cinsert\u201d. If you\u2019re doing this, you should already know the difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But here\u2019s a hard-learned lesson for you. There are a LOT of things that will keep an Xref from binding, but this option does nothing to warn you about whether it succeeds or not. You\u2019ll finish the transmittal and assume that everything bound correctly. Do not trust that it succeeded. Whenever I use this option, I always use the external Reference Manager to check the transmittal. Please take heed. Future you will thank me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Finally, it\u2019s up to you to choose what gets included in the transmittal (or not). If you use some custom fonts, you may want to send them along so that the drawings appear as yours do. The middle three options are on by default, but even if your files don\u2019t contain any of them, it won\u2019t affect anything. The last option is for including unloaded references. I\u2019m sure there are reasons to include these, but generally, if a reference is unloaded, there\u2019s a good reason, and sending it along would only create unnecessary bloat in the transmittal. Again though\u2026 you do what you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

AutoCAD eTransmit and Sheet Set Manager<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I kind of glossed over the file selection button in the first dialog. Projects can get large. Manually selecting your files doesn\u2019t need to be tedious, which is yet another reason to use AutoCAD\u2019s Sheet Set Manager. The eTransmit command is right there for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hey, when it comes time to transmit your drawings or entire project to someone else, make sure they\u2019re happy with what they get. You wouldn\u2019t want to get drawings with references that don\u2019t resolve, so why would they? Always transmit friendly files with eTransmit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
