The '''QUEUE''' is the stored list of models to be printed in a certain order. It is shown when the program starts. If not the currently displayed pane, it can be accessed by clicking the [[File:Print queueQueue button.jpgpng]]button on the [[Main Screen]]. == Count == The number in parentheses next to the [[File:Queue button.png]] button indicates the number of models currently loaded in the QUEUE. In the example to the right, the QUEUE has 28 models. == Buttons == The QUEUE has two sets of buttons: the upper set, which perform actions on selected models, and the lower set, which perform other functions. === Edit === Shows a check box next to each model so one or multiple models can be selected. === Export === Opens the [[File export options]] dialog box to export the currently selected file. Active when only one file is selected. === Copy === Makes a copy of the selected model. Active when only one file is selected. === Remove === Deletes the selected file(s) from the QUEUE. === More... === Shows a drop down menu of additional file action items. [[File:More menu.png]] ==== Send ==== Opens the [[Send to Remote Device]] window, allowing the user to send the model to another device signed in under the same [[MatterHackers.com account]]. ==== Add To Library ==== Opens the '''Save New Design''' window, allowing the user to save a copy of the model in a valid section of the Library. [[File:Save To Library.png]] === Add === [[File:Add Library.png]] Opens the operating system's file selection window so the user can choose a .STL, .AMF, .GCODE, or .ZIP file to add to the QUEUE. === Create === [[File:Queue Create.png]] Opens '''Select a Design Tool''' window, which has links to the available [[:Category:Design Tools|Design Tools]]. [[File:Select a Design Tool window.png]] === Buy Materials === [[File:Queue Buy Materials.png]] Opens http://www.matterhackers.com/store/3d-printer-filament in the system's default web browser. === Queue... === [[File:Queue menu.png]] Displays a menu with action items which affect the '''entire QUEUE'''.  [[File:Queue menu expanded.png]] ==== Export to Zip ==== Opens the operating system's file save dialog box so the user can save a .zip file containing the selected file(s). ==== Export to Folder or SD Card ==== Slices each model with the current [[Settings|slice settings]] and exports the .gcode files to a specified folder. ==== Load Files ==== Loads into the QUEUE any files from an SD card currently inserted in a connected printer while a print is not active or is paused. ==== Eject SD Card ==== Release an SD card currently inserted into a connected printer. ==== Create Part Sheet ==== Creates a PDF file which displays a silhouette of each model in the QUEUE. Useful for keeping track of which models have been printed for large projects where many different models are needed. ==== Remove All ==== Deletes all models from the QUEUE, except for the currently printing model (if applicable). This action is not reversible.
