how do i share a sketch drawing with a colleague via email?

i have drawn some 2d work in archicad & want to send that over to a colleague in archicad but don't want to send the whole 40MB archicad file - just the vector sketch info from a portion of a worksheet

what is the best way to do that?

If you want your colleague to work on or be able to open the file, then you will need to send the file, or share it via a cloud service.

Otherwise take a screen shot or maybe try saving the worksheet view as a DXF/DWG or as a PDF.

Yeah, I just want to share geometry, not all the views/layouts/etc.

Ok, thanks for the reply, I appreciate it!
