Topic: AutoCAD Etransmit

[Andrea]

Hi all,..

is there any variable  than I dont know to make a Etrasmit without save ?

Thank you.

Don't think so, eTransmit includes the actual .dwg file within the folder, not the specific temporary file created when you publish the .dwg file to an email.

I understand that,....So why asking the question if it do not run without saving ?
the fact is that many users have fields or some program updating drawing data when open a drawing..
like current date, vaiables fields, username, path location, attached OLe Object etc...then the DBMOD is affected.,,
but who care...All I want is to use the actual saved DWG file and ship it to the client...

the question of Etransmit must be : "ETRANSMIT CAN'T PROCEED IF THE DRAWING IS NOT SAVED"...then STOP the process..
but it ask if we want to save the drawing and propose YES or NO.

It's just a notification that there may be changes that haven't been saved, yet.

What if someone other than the person doing the etransmit had made changes that need to be included but haven't saved the file yet?

Solution:
warn user but ask him if he want to proceed or not
 "Warning !!   This Drawind is not saved yet, do you whish to make an Etransmit anyways ?"

or even better,,,

Code: [Select]

(if (/= (getvar 'DBMOD) 0)
(progn
(initget 1 "Yes No")
(if (eq "Yes" (setq x (getkword "This Drawing is not saved yet, do you wish to continue ? <Yes No> :")))
  (command "._-ETRANSMIT")
  (princ "\nThank you")
  )
)
  (command "._-ETRANSMIT")
  )

It can be annoying if there is a lisp or script running for batch processing. But what version of Autocad are you actually using? I think this option 'would you like to save it?' ..Btw What is the default?  was introduced somewhere in 2016..

[ChrisCarlson]

Is there a reason you cannot save the file?

[steve.carson]

I always etransmit from a sheetset without the drawings open to avoid the save issue.

Probably this.

All I want is to use the actual saved DWG file and ship it to the client...

This is similar to how C3D acts when you want to crop a surface. It forces you to save, and 99% of the time I don't want to save.

If you are just doing an eTransmit on an existing drawing, you might be able to trick the program with acad-push-dbmod/acad-pop-dbmod.

[Daniel J. Ellis]

I think this is the scenario you want to achieve:
Open drawing
Make changes
Do an etransmit
Have the etransmitted file reflect the changes you've made, but the one you originally opened will be unchanged.

Clicking "no" at the save prompt WILL achieve this.
