Sheets Tab (Create Transmittal Dialog Box)

On this tab, you can create a transmittal package from a sheet set, sheet subset, or sheet. A sheet set must be open in the Sheet Set Manager, and eTransmit must be selected from the shortcut menu that is displayed when a sheet set, sheet subset, or sheet node is right-clicked.

Note: If a sheet in the list is unavailable, the sheet is referenced (as an xref) by another sheet in the transmittal package, and the unavailable sheet is automatically included in the transmittal package.

List of Options

The following options are displayed.

Enter Notes to Be Included with This Transmittal Package

Provides a space where you can enter notes related to a transmittal package. The notes are included in the transmittal report. You can specify a template of default notes to be included with all your transmittal packages by creating an ASCII text file called etransmit.txt. This file must be saved to a location specified by the Support File Search Path option on the Files tab in the Options dialog box.

Select a Transmittal Setup

Lists previously saved transmittal setups. The default transmittal setup is named STANDARD. To create a new transmittal setup or to modify an existing one in the list, click Transmittal Setups.

Transmittal Setups

Displays the Transmittal Setups dialog box, in which you can create, modify, and delete transmittal setups.

View Report

Displays report information that is included with the transmittal package. Includes any transmittal notes that you entered and distribution notes automatically generated that detail what steps must be taken for the transmittal package to work properly. For example, if SHX fonts are detected in one of the transmittal drawings, you are instructed where to copy these files so that they can be detected on the system where the transmittal package is being installed. If you have created a text file of default notes, the notes are also included in the report.
