Cad drafter, have you ever sent or received AutoCAD drawings with missing
information such as images xrefs or any other file? me too
fortunately I'm here to make that never happened to you again! my name is Irving
and I created the Lazy Arquitecto to save you time with my AutoCAD tutorials
and tools like this automatic etransmit command. if you follow these three steps
not only will you make packaging and sending Autocad files easier by
quickly combining all xrefs images and fonts into one single file but you will
be confident that your clients will not miss any relevant file. are you ready?
step one, how to package out to cut files? for these let's create your new
automatic etransmit command. so type CIU and press Enter
this will bring up the customize user interface so to create a new command you
can click the star icon or you can duplicate any existing command so let's
look for the etransmit command, right click on it and click
duplicate I'll change the name to Auto etransmit and here in the macro section
click on it and let's use the following macro code CC to get out of any active
command second we'll start the Qsave command
following by the etransmit command the letter C to create a new package and
finally we're going to use a small diesel expression starting with the
dollar symbol and the letter M equal the dollar symbol again and in parentheses
we're going to use the expression getvar
following my DWGname variable
step two, sending CAD files with extras for this, you need to have your Auto
etransmit command always available so add it to your AutoCAD quick access
panel by left clicking on it and dragging it over here, so click apply and
then ok. three let's test your new automatic etransmit command
the last thing I want to share with you is that you can control what you want to
include in your drawing package by using the normal etransmit command so you can
double click on standard and choose the settings that you need.

commands while they are still available. you grab them and the link below this
