ETRANSMIT with Excel Datalinks
« on: September 06, 2016, 06:05:40 PM »
We have a bunch of drawings that datalink excel sheets to bring in the LOM. I have to send them to the client, but I don't want the "Error, reference not found" dialogue to pop up when the drawings are opened. I have tried using ETRANSMIT to package the drawings, and it includes the excel file but doesn't seem to update the reference path, and the error still occurs. Any ideas?

Put those excel files in a path relative to the drawings
be sure to package the etransmit file to include the directory structure

when they decompress the files the links should be found,

you may even need to know, or share your file structure


so IF your data is on some drive F:\

they will need to have that same drive letter or things will not work
