eTransmit

I know that in order to send a drawing and their respective reference files, you can use eTransmit to create a zip file. Sometimes when sending drawings to clients, clients prefer to receive each drawing and their references in its own zip file rather than one big zip file with every drawing and all references. This can be a tedious task when there are 100s of drawings for one project. You have to open a drawing, run eTransmit, the zip file is created, then you have to open the next file and do this over and over again. Are there any add-ons that can be downloaded to AutoCAD in order to create these multiple zip files at once? Maybe it can't create 100s of zip files at once, but even if it could take ten drawings and create those separate zip files at once, that would help speed up the process. 

 

Thank you!

Nothing in AutoCAD will do that: but with 100s of drawings for a project, why aren't you all sharing files with your customers through an FTP or web/cloud drive/site instead of individual emails? Think about the person on the otherside unravelling your "tedious task".

Files need to be sent a very specific way, which is why we don't use a cloud drive. What about ScriptPro? How does that work exactly?

That just repeats a script that mimics what you can type at the commandline (as in, no popups).

Looks like you're stuck with the tedious option if you are contractually obligated to only deliver files by email in a specific style.
