gsksun4 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I recently was sent cad drawings and along with the cad files, they sent .HTML files. First time I've seen this and when I click on the HTML file, it just opens my Internet Explorer to my usual home page AOL. Any idea what these files are for? At first I thought there might be something linked on the internet to the drawing. Glenn 2009LT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Maybe it has something to do with the creation of a formatted web page that included a DWF image of the drawing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzframpton Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Maybe it has something to do with the creation of a formatted web page that included a DWF image of the drawing?Or for the email formatting itself. Either way I don't think it has anything to do with AutoCAD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuns Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Why not ask them what the HTML files are for if you're curious? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzframpton Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 They probably don't know either. It's apart of the email formatting system. I get them quite often, especially from emails forwarded to me from iPhones and alike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsksun4 Posted December 18, 2013 Author Share Posted December 18, 2013 Why not ask them what the HTML files are for if you're curious? First off, thanks to all for the replys. To answer TUNS, the "Them" is a customer who has no knowledge. The drawings are created by a third party. The architech was my next move, but my IT staff googled it and it has to do with the version of Office (Old ) of course and our E-Mail. Something it reads when a file is attached and adds the HTML. So tzf, you are correct and I'm relieved. I never know what to expect with add ons and object enablers and whatnot. Again, thanks to all and have a great day.
