Learn how to export 2D drawings as PDF files in Shapr3D for sharing, printing, and documentation.
PDF files in Shapr3D
PDF (Portable Document Format) is commonly used to share technical drawings in a format that can be viewed and printed without CAD software.
In Shapr3D, you can export 2D drawings as PDF files to communicate design details, share documentation, and prepare drawings for printing.
Export PDF files from Shapr3D
PDF export is available for 2D drawings created in Shapr3D.
In the Export dialog, select PDF under the Drawing category. Under Drawings in Project, select the drawing you want to export.
If your project does not contain any drawings, select Create Drawing to create one.

Considerations when using PDF files
PDF files are intended for viewing, sharing, and printing technical drawings rather than editing 3D models.
If you need to exchange editable 2D geometry with another CAD application, consider exporting your drawing as DWG or DXF instead.
