    Default Problems with directory's in E-transmits

    My colleague have a problem with creating e-transmits. Creating the e-transmit are going great actually but if I unzipping the file i see something what I am not expected.
    If i unzipping the file on a mac file system I get (with the standards etransmit settings, so with directory's) a filename with the names of the directory's in it.

    So I expected the filename DWG To PDF.pc3 in the folder PlotCfgs but I get the filename PlotCfgs\DWG To PDF.pc3. I have a screenshot attached. I have only on the mac system this problem but in windows it works like a charm. I recognized this problem because it does exist in the first beta of 2014 MAC AutoCAD version.

    Anyone knows what the problem could be?

    Mac and Windows are using different filesystems completely. Acad is built and designed for Windows, the MAc port is an incomplete exercise, so expecting Mac features to work & look the same as Windows based features is unrealistic. m Especially with compressed folders/zip files, which are not the same thing on different filesystems.

    Thanks, I know the file systems are different. But I have never had problems like this. Maybe they have change the way of making the etransmit in 2015? What I said I had this problem before in the AutoCAD MAC 2014 beta where the command was new. With other AutoCAD versions no problem at all.

    I investigate a couple of other e-transmits on different (win) autocad version. The problems start by AutoCAD 2015. I think the have a new way to make the zipfiles.

    that could be the issue. If you're on subscription, post a support request there - they may not be aware of it, or realize it's a problem.
