Print & Share Guide

5. Print from AutoCAD

If you install Direct Print & Share on a computer that has Autodesk's CAD software AutoCAD

installed on it, a Direct Print & Share plug-in will be added to AutoCAD.

You can start Direct Print & Share from AutoCAD and easily print drawings and make uploads to

cloud storage.

You can use the AutoCAD plug-in with AutoCAD 2008 and later versions of AutoCAD.

- If you install AutoCAD 2011 or an earlier version of AutoCAD after installing Direct Print &

Share, install the AutoCAD plug-in from the Direct Print & Share change install.

1. Open a drawing in AutoCAD.

- Open AutoCAD's Layout space. The AutoCAD plug-in cannot be used from the Model space.

2. Click Print and Preview from either AutoCAD's ribbon menu or by right clicking and selecting

it from the displayed menu.

3. The Direct Print & Share will start after the PDF files that reflect the layout of open drawings

are generated.

- If you want to change the layout of a PDF file, change the layout of the drawing in AutoCAD and then

click Print and Preview again.

4. Confirm that the PDF file that was generated from the AutoCAD drawing is displayed in the

Registered file list of the Direct Print & Share's main window.

The generated PDF files can be printed and uploaded to cloud storage.
