Clipboard Tutorial expanding on what is available in the existing Dcad 12 manuals

[Dennis Orr]

I want to start sending dwgs. To clients, for review only, and do not know how to copy and paste from Dcad to Word or to somehow create a drawing attachment to an email.

 

Is there a tutorial available that could enlighten me?  I have the Smith and Morse manual but it is not addressed I a place where I can find it.

 

Thanks;

Hi Dennis,

You should make the drawing sheets into PDF's, using the Save As button in the plot Preview window.?? Then you can attach those PDF's to an email(s), to send to your clients.?? To attach the PDF's, there should be a button in an email compose window that says Attach; or you probably can also drag them and drop into your email.

You will want to save/send these as PDFs via your Print Menu

The process will probably be under printing in the index

Hi,

I do this all the time.  Set up your drawing (quick layout or multi layout as you wish), make certain that preview (S5) is on and hit print (F1).  Then click 'Save As" and you will create a .pdf.  Attach the .pdf to your drawing and - as they say - 'Bob's your uncle'.  I never knew why they say that, but they do.

The only problem you might run into, is when you set up your drawing to fit a large piece of paper, and the client tries to print it on 8 1/2 X 11.  It becomes almost impossible to read.

Good luck!

Um, just plot PDF files. Then, if you have Adobe Acrobat Pro, create binders of the PDFs, in the correct order for a set of drawings. Then email the binder. Happiness follows.

As far as sending DWG files: I would never do that, except to a consulting engineer who uses UdderCAD only (not DataCAD).
