About Getting Started with the Transmittal Object Library (ActiveX/ATO)

The Transmittal Object library includes multiple COM interfaces that allow developers to create transmittal sets, monitor transmittal set operations, and add files to a transmittal set. The Transmittal Object library can be used with any programming language that supports the use of ActiveX/COM. Some of the commonly used programming languages that support ActiveX/COM are:

  • VBA
  • VB.NET
  • C#
  • F#
  • C++

To use the Transmittal Object library, you must reference the following file that is installed with a supported AutoCAD-based program or the ObjectARX SDK:

  • acETransmit<version>.tlb – Transmittal Object library

Optionally, the following libraries might need to be referenced:

  • AcSmComponents<version>.tlb – Sheet Set Object library required when working with sheet sets
  • axdb<version>enu.tlb – AutoCAD/ObjectDBX Type library required to access the objects in a drawing file without first opening it in the AutoCAD application
Note: Substitute <version> for the version number of the API used by the AutoCAD-based program being targeted.

The following provides a cross reference between Transmittal Object library versions and the AutoCAD-based program releases in which a particular version is supported:

  • 20 - AutoCAD 2019 through AutoCAD 2025
  • 19 - AutoCAD 2015 through AutoCAD 2018
  • 18 - AutoCAD 2010 through AutoCAD 2014
  • 16 - AutoCAD 2004 through AutoCAD 2009
