All, I found the really cool lisp routine to send an AutoCAD drawing as an attachment in an Email and was wondering if it could be modified to send a PDF instead. (defun c:eMail (/ _catch file outlook email) ;; Using Outlook, eMail selected object(s) in a temporary DWG file ;; Many thanks to Ron Perez (ronjonp) for the Outlook example ([url]http://www.theswamp.org/index.php?topic=26953.msg324794#msg324794[/url]) ;; Alan J. Thompson, 03.28.11 (vl-load-com) (defun _catch (f a) (not (vl-catch-all-error-p (vl-catch-all-apply f a)))) (if (and (or (ssget "_I") (prompt "\nSelect object(s) to eMail: ") (ssget)) (setq file (vl-filename-mktemp "" nil ".dwg")) (_catch 'vla-WBlock (list (cond (*AcadDoc*) ((setq *AcadDoc* (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object)))) ) file (vla-get-activeselectionset *AcadDoc*) ) ) (setq outlook (vlax-get-or-create-object "Outlook.Application")) (setq email (vlax-invoke-method outlook 'CreateItem 0)) (_catch 'vlax-put (list email 'Subject (strcat "Emailing: " (vl-filename-base file) ".dwg"))) (_catch 'vlax-invoke (list (vlax-get email 'Attachments) 'Add file)) ) (progn (princ "\nOutlook active...") (princ) (vlax-invoke email 'Display :vlax-true) (vl-file-delete file) ) ) (foreach x (list email outlook) (and x (vlax-release-object x))) (princ) ) Thanks Brian
