eTransmit

The eTransmit functionality has been enhanced to include a new option to "include unloaded file references."
When this option is enabled, all unloaded reference files are included in the transmittal set but will remain
unloaded in the eTransmit package. The Archive functionality includes the same option to include unloaded file
references and is enabled by default.

Autodesk Seek

Previously known as "Content Search," Autodesk Seek is a more efficient online utility that allows users to
quickly search product information and designs from the web and download the designs into AutoCAD. For
example, if you were designing a home, and wanted to include pre-existing windows, you could look for product
specifications and actual 2D and 3D design files on seek.autodesk.com. Search through the results for your
desired window specifications, and then download the window file to incorporate it into your design.
Note: Currently Seek is focused on manufacturer-specific building products only, but is considering expanding
to manufacturing products.
