Emailing Files

JetStream is a communication tool and the Send feature makes it easy for you to send your current model along with its viewpoints. The Send command uses your current mail exchange service and will prompt you to set one up if it cannot find one.

Sending a mail will first save the current working file, so you are guaranteed to always send the latest review.

To send a file by email from within JetStream

Go to File, Send...

Click Send on the standard toolbar.

This accesses your mail package and sends the current file as an email attachment.

Receiving 3D Mail

If an .nwf file is received, JetStream will search for the appended files first using the absolute path that the sender originally saved the file with. This is useful if a team is on a local network and the files can be found using the Universal Naming Convention (UNC). Otherwise, a team not sharing a server can organize a project using the same file hierarchy and drive letter and JetStream can find the files this way.

If JetStream is unable to find the files, then the recipient can save the attached .nwf in a directory where all the appended files are located. The .nwf can then look for these files relative to its own location.

This way, you are able to move a whole sub-directory from your projects directory to a completely new location. Save the .nwf file in this new place and it will be able to search for the files from here.
