Emailing a sketch

1. Select File > Send Mail.

   A window appears prompting you for the image file format you want to use.

2. Choose the image format.

   To preserve your layers, select TIFF. For a smaller file size, select JPEG or PNG.

   NoteTo see the future size of the attachment file for each format, click Calculate File Sizes.
3. Click Send Mail.

   An image file of the format you selected is added as an attachment file named “Sketch” to a new message in your default mail browser.

Troubleshooting

For PC users, if you get a message that you cannot email the image, check that:

You have an email account set up on your computer. | To select a default email application on a Windows XP system: Go to the Internet Properties control panel (Start > Settings > Control Panel > Internet Options). Click the Programs tab. Pick the default email application from the E-mail dropdown list.
You have selected a default email application. |
Your email program is open. | Some email programs (for example, Microsoft Outlook) must be open before using this feature.
You can launch your default email program from outside of Autodesk SketchBook Pro. | Try the following: From the Windows Start menu, choose Run. Type the "mailto:" command. Click OK. If a new empty message window does not appear, then there is a problem with the configuration of your email application and/or account.

For Mac users, if you get a message that you cannot email the image, check that:

- You have an email account set up on your computer.
- You have selected a default email application.
- You can launch your default email program from outside SketchBook.

If your email program creates the email message, but cannot send the message, ensure that your email service provider is operational. (Refer to the documentation of your email program for further information.)
