xrefs through email
(OP)
Hello everyone,
My question to you guys is:
I'm trying to send a drawing to a client that has Acad. But i used an external reference in my drawing. How do i attach the xref to the drawing that will open up with it being seen by my client. My client does not know how utilize a xref. So he needs to be able to open up the drawing and see that xref w/o going through the process of re attaching it. Do you bind it?
Thanks
Juice

Your client will then be able to open the drawing as normal.
As always review command from acad manual .
RE: xrefs through email
If you are using AutoCAD 2002, there is a command named
"ETRANSMIT". This command gathers all related files and
creates a parcel to send via email or ... .
1. Open the master drawing.
2. Enter the ETRANSMIT command.
3. In dialog box "General" tab, mark the below option:
"Remove paths from xrefs and images"
4. In "Type" list select the below option:
"Self-extracting executable (*.exe)"
5. Define the name and location of EXE file to be created
in the "Location" box (using the browse button).
6. Activate the "Files" tab.
7. Unselect the unnecessary files.
8. Click on "OK".
An executable file will be created that automatically
extracts files and copies each file in desired location,
for example it copies font files (if included) to the
AutoCAD fonts folder. The "Remove paths" option (step 3 of
above instructions) causes the xref files copy in the
same folder as master file and open from the same path.
