The Features of Direct Print & Share

  • You can print your PDF documents and drawings, JPEG and TIFF images, or HP-GL/2 format drawings directly, without opening each application.

  • You can confirm the print layout by using the preview. Also, you can make print settings without opening up driver properties.

  • You can print files without displaying the Direct Print & Share screen by creating a shortcut print icon and dropping the files onto the shortcut print icon.

  • Since it is possible to print multiple files at the same time, you can efficiently print a large number of drawings and images.

  • Direct Print & Share allows you to access cloud storage, upload and download files, and print the files.

  • You can share files with other users after uploading them to cloud storage. E-mail notifications are sent to users to share files at the same time uploads are made. (Google Drive only)

  • By using a plug-in, drawings made in Autodesk AutoCAD are registered to the Direct Print & Share file list. Direct Print & Share makes it easy to print the drawings you made as well as share them with other users through cloud storage.

Note

  • Cloud storage is compatible with "Google Drive" and WebDAV compatible cloud storage.

    • Access to cloud storage is only guaranteed for "Google Drive".

  • For notes on use of Direct Print & Share, see "General Notes (Direct Print & Share)".

Important

  • To use the cloud service, you first have to create an account for the cloud service.

  • Supported file types for preview include JPEG, TIFF, PDF (excluding encrypted PDFs), HP-GL/2, and PosterArtist (files with extension cpfx). Supported file types for print include JPEG, TIFF, PDF (excluding encrypted PDFs), and HP-GL/2. Although it is not possible to preview or print file types other than those specified above, you can still upload them to cloud storage.

  • Only the Layout preview is possible for HP-GL/2 previews.
