What is eTransmit():

Collects related files and packages them together for transfer to another computer. Packages can include one or more drawings and their related external references, materials from Explore Materials, and fonts. Each package can be either a self-extracting .exe file, a .zip file, or a new folder that contains all of the files.

The eTransmit command uses transmittal setups to define how packages are created, with options for filenaming, password control, whether to include fonts, and more. The default transmittal setup is named Standard, which you can modify. Or you can create new transmittal setups.
