To create a transmittal package from a sheet set
1. Open the sheet set that you want to transmit.
2. In the Sheet Set Manager, Sheet List tab, right-click one of the following types of nodes from the Sheets-Tree list:
o Sheet set (top-level node). To transmit an entire sheet set.
o Sheet subset (lower-level node). To transmit a sheet subset or selected portion of a sheet set.
o Sheet (lowest level node). To transmit a selected sheet or a selected portion of a sheet set.
3. On the shortcut menu, click ETransmit.
In the Create Transmittal dialog box, on the Sheets tab, sheets are shown indented underneath another sheet when the indented sheets belong to the same drawing file. Selecting or clearing a sheet automatically selects or clears any indented sheets because transmitting a sheet transmits the entire drawing.
NoteIt is recommended that you create and save several transmittal setups. Then, when you need to create a transmittal package, you can select a transmittal setup rather than following steps 4-11.
