Hi and Welcome ProgeCADuser,
Thank you for your feedback. We might, however, reserve any judgement on our implementation of eTransmit. Many users need this function, and thus far no one else has reported it to be "useless". Perhaps we should be asking, which version of progeCAD you are using? Actually, the XREF BIND option to which you refer for progeCAD 2017 is the
same place as it is in AutoCAD: In the XREF manager, as shown below:
As well documented in progeCAD help, if you search for BIND:
Code: Select allBind Click to make the selected external reference a permanent part of the drawing, which is the same as inserting a separate drawing as a block. In the dialog box that displays, choose Bind or Insert.
Choosing Bind creates a unique name for each named entity, such as a layer or block, that is located in the external reference. For example, a layer named Electric in the external reference will be named Xref$0$Electric in the current drawing. If the current drawing already has a layer or block with the same name, the name is changed incrementally, for example, Xref$1$Electric.
Note that this is a very similar level of functionality as found in AutoCAD.
As to adding batch plot functionality, we are still looking into this for you and will revert shortly.
