Hi all, I get a pop-up in the middle of a e-transmit saying "Etransmit creation failed!". It's only happening with one file. I've done purge all, audit, rebooted computer,etc. I did the same with the attached xref. The xref are also located in other files that I have no problem with e-transmit, so I doubt their the problem. If anyone has a clue what causes this it would be helpful.

I have been fighting with this for some time now: In a drawing that containes blocks with attributes, blocks with blocks with attributes AND xrefs with blocks with attributes. I need to extract some attributetags AND the X, Y and Z-coordinate. With ATTEXT and a filterfile I have got it working, BUT... Sometimes the ATTEXT-file that is created displays some strange values in the coordinates. Sometimes numbers are very small or very large, but the XREF-drawing shows no entities on that coordinates. For example 3.277566e-99 of 4.19987e125. These numbers cannot be transferred and used for the rest of the program. How can I fix this so it reads the real coordinates from the XREF/block and not some strange 'mutant'-code???

We have some drawings where we've xref'd floor plans of adjacent buildings and annotated it with leaders (in model space) inside of a master file (eg Bldg1-1st flr, Bldg2-1st flr, Bldg3-1st flr all xref'd into Master1stflr.dwg). The individual floor plans contain a hatch layer color coding each room on the plans indicating departmental ownership. The leaders are all drawn on one layer called MC-TEXT in the master file. Our problem is the the leader annotations show up above the xref when drawn, but upon reloading the xref or re-opening the master file, the xref jumps to the front and covers up the leaders. I've tried to send the leaders to the front and the xref's to the back to no avail. Is there a command I can apply the in the master drawing that will hold the draw order upon xref reloading? Should I be pushing the xref's to the back or the leaders to the front? Is there a way to set draworder of layers? When invoking the draworder command, how do I call out a specific xref to push to back (without selecting the object with cursor...eg send Bldg1-1st flr xref to back)? Thanks for any advice in advance. Steve
