UPDATE: drawings are finally here: 4.0 - 2D drawings + new pricing Is it possible to print (to paper) a scale 2D drawing? I’d like to create a 2D sketch and print it, before turning it into a 3D model.

I am confused… (also brand new) As I understood it, the pro version unlock/lets you create 2d drawings… is that not correct?

On the app, you create 2d drawings which can be exported to other CAD tools in DWG/DXF formats for further editing. Only not yet possible to create 2d technical drawings with all dimensions visible that can be printed as a PDF file. The latter is on our road map :slight_smile:

Any progress on 2D printing directly from Shapr ??

Hi, we are working on it and there is no ETA yet on when it will be live. Thank you for your understanding.

I have also tried importing /opening with Adobe illustrator with no success. Do I need a proper AutoCA…

Hello - my first guess would be the view settings, it might be that you export something from the xy axis, but dwg fastview shows the yz - this renders your export drawing into a single line. Make sure you use the same view across apps. Let us know if this helps.

I realize now that some of the issue was my use of the program. After sketching on a plane and building my image I would sometimes eliminate the sketch. Regardless, I did a test and made a simple, mean nothing project and exported as a .dwg file. I opened the drawing in 4 different programs, Autodes…

Hi - would you please reach out to support@shapr3d.com , with pictures/videos if possible. We would love to help, just have to understand the situation better.
