Send a transmittal via email

Description
Attach Drawing Files
When selected, the drawing files that match the items and purposes defined in the Transmittals dialog box are attached to the transmittal.

When selected, the drawing files are compressed into a .zip package. The drawings are still separate PDF files within the .zip package.
