-ETRANSMIT In ACoreConsole

[rmarkowitz]

Hello Community -

   I have been asked to create a separate ETRANSMIT ZIP file for several DWG files across a few folders, I thought the best way to do this would be to run a script with the -ETRANSMIT command via a BAT file and ACoreConsole. The script runs just fine in full Autocad, but does not work from the console with the error "-ETRANSMIT Unknown Command".

Does this mean that -ETRANSMIT does not work from the core console? I can't find a list of the included commands.

Thanks -

Since etransmit is not on this list then probably not supported

You can use a free script processor to run a basic macro or LISP in multiple folders on multiple files instead. explore this discussion (and many others out there on the topic):

and this extra step may be of use too

Thanks - I really just needed someone to confirm I wasn't crazy I guess.

It would be super useful in ACCoreConsole - I wonder if Autodesk can add it in.

The nice thing about ACCoreConsole is that it doesn't need to open the GUI, which speeds the process up immensely. I've already created a script to complete this task - but it takes far longer without the magic of the console.

Your query appears to have been a wishlist since the year 2003(?) from a brief search I performed earlier.

There used to be a 3rd party product that did something similar to your wish back in the day, but I don't seem to be able to find it or the creator anymore.

For now, June of the year 2024, you'll need a second license on a spare machine to run your scripts or assign an intern to the task as a workaround if you cannot bill a client for the time to complete the tasks until Autodesk adds what you want (if there is much demand for it from hundreds of other queries) in perhaps another 1-2-5-10+ years from today.
