Hello Bob3DPO

Thank You for your interest but this is not my questions’s answer. I would like that taking a print directly from shapr3d drawing page to print out . There is no button on drawing page…

Hi Cemay,

You are correct. There is no print button, you would need to Export a PDF to Files, and then print that, which you stated you want to avoid.

I know of a great tool (Hazel) for the Mac that could automate the process of printing then deleting a PDF, so after exporting PDF to predefined folder you would get a paper print without intervention. There may be something similar on Windows. Nothing like it for iPad.
