Sending Material Texture Images

This task explains how to send images used for material textures in the mail or to a directory or a diskette.
Open the SortMaterial.CATMaterial document.

 

Sending in the mail

  1. Select File > Send To > Mail.

    The Send To Mail dialog box opens:
    In the upper part of the dialog box you can see a list of all the different documents linked to the document you selected for the send operation. The four columns provide information about the file name, the file type, the location and whether or not the file was found.

  2. Select the files in the upper list individually and transfer them to the lower list using the Copy selected files button.

    If you want to select the files by type, place the cursor inside the list and right-click to display the list of file types and then select the appropriate type. (Selecting by type in this way operates of course in the lower list as well.)

    OK might be grayed out. This means that problems shown in the Problem column have not been resolved.

  3. Click OK. You are now prompted to give the name of your e-mail system.

For detailed information on using the Send To Directory command, refer to Transferring Version 5 Data To Another Directory.

Copying to a directory or diskette

  1. Select File > Send To > Directory.

    The Send To Directory dialog box opens:
    In the upper part of the dialog box you can see a list of all the different documents linked to the document you selected for the copy operation. 
    The four columns provide information about the file name, the file type, the location and whether or not the file was found.

  2. Select the files in the upper list individually and use the Copy selected files button to transfer them to the lower list.

    If you want to select the files by type, place the cursor inside the list and right-click to display the list of file types and then select the appropriate type. (Selecting by type in this way operates of course in the lower list as well.).

    It might be useful, especially if copying files to a diskette, to know the size of the documents to be copied. You find this just above the Copy to: box.
    OK might, as in the case shown above, be grayed out. This means that problems shown in the Problem column have not been resolved.

  3. Enter the path of the target directory in the Copy to: box or click Browse if you need to browse your file tree, then click OK.

    This box is in fact a list and contains the nine destinations last used.

  4. Click OK.

    A progress bar appears as each file is copied and when the copy has been performed, the Files Copied dialog box appears telling you the number, size and type of the files copied.
