etransmit separate zip files

[azzro10]

iv got a large set of drawings (whole project finished) n the client wants a set of the DWGs to achieve. they want each drawing packaged in a separate zip file with xrefs, plot styles fonts ex included. Exactly the same as an eTransmittle would create. Can anyone suggest a quicker way of doing this rather then going into each drawing n doing an eTransmit for each one. I know u can do more than one drawing at a time using eTransmit but it packages then all in one file.

Well I will first presume that the same xrefs are in all your drawings.

 

Just make sure that your xref paths are relative, not absolute.

 

Do the etransmit for the first drawing, then just pull the sheet drawing files in for the rest of the package, if the xrefs are all the same, it should all work out. You're just duplicating information such as plot, text, dim styles by repeating this process.

 

Thats the way I'd do it!

This sounds like a good job for a sheet set. http://cadecorner.blogspot.com/2006/11/etransmit.html

 

If you create sheet sets for your drawing sets, things like this become very easy. Just open the sheet set, select the drawing file, or files, you want to Etransmit, right click and choose Etransmit. You can create transmittals for each individual drawing file in your set from within the sheet set without ever having to open a single drawing file.

thanx for the help guys, but not really wat im after, both methods allow me to select multiple sheets but neither gives the option to put them all in seperate zip files. i want each drawing to be indepentent from the others (not sharing xrefs n font files ex). looks like a might have use a scriped that does each drawing one by one.
