This function forms packages of files for transmitting to other computer or transmission by internet. Transmittal package includes all drawing-related files such as xrefs and font files.
note: In some CAD “set of files” term is used instead “package of files”.
Create transmittal dialog box displays table with all drawing-related files (xrefs, fonts etc.). The dialog shows information about every file in transmittal: Name, Size, Type, Date, Saved path.
· current drawing file and attached external links (*.dwg);
· font files (*.shx, *.ttf);
· *.dwf files;
· *.dgn files;
· *.pdf files;
· raster files, including texture rasters;
· point cloud files;
· linestyle files;
· 3D files.
The table provides information about each file included in the package: Name, Size, Type, Date, Saved Path:
To switch the display of files in the form of a hierarchical tree, click the

Package parameters Package type: Zip (*.zip) – creates a package of files in the form of a zip archive; Folder with files (not sent by email) – creates a package of files in the form of a folder with files. Additional parameters: Send by Email – enables the mode of generating a *.eml file; Include fonts – includes font files in the package (the Fonts folder is created); Include 3D-files – includes 3D-files in the package; Include point clouds – includes point clouds in the package; Include textures from materials – includes texture files created and/or used in the drawing into the package (the Textures folder is created); Include unloaded External References – includes unloaded external references in the file package. Path parameters Use Organized Folder Structure – duplicates the folder structure for files of the generated package, changing absolute paths to relative ones. The root folder is the top-level folder in a hierarchical folder tree. Place all files in one folder – all files will be placed in one folder. Keep files and folders as is – the folder structure that existed at the time the package was created is completely preserved. |
