- A data link connects a table to an Excel range.
- Linked tables can be updated when the spreadsheet changes.
Publish and eTransmit
Key points
- PUBLISH plots several layouts to PDF or a plotter in one batch.
- eTransmit packages a drawing with its Xrefs, fonts and other dependencies.
- A transmittal package helps clients open the drawing without missing files.
