    Default Copying Mechanical Desktop drawing.

    Using Mechanical Desktop 6, is there a command to copy all files used in an assembly drawing to a separate directory?
    I have an assembly drawing that a client needs, but that assembly is made up of dozens of other parts. If I just copy the assembly, the client will not be able to see all the parts if I do not give him all the part files. Is there a command that copies all the files at once?
    Thanks

    It's been a long time since I fired up MDT, but I think e-transmit should do exactly that.

    It should be located under File>Etransmit.

    Yup,
    Within the etransmit (among other things) you can choose to keep the same folder structure, place all support files in one folder or bind the xrefs, pretty powerful!
