Removal of "3D Print > Services > Order Online" Option:

• The "3D Print > Services > Order Online" option was removed as of Solid Edge 2020 MP13 and later versions.

• This decision was based on the cessation of support by "3YourMind" and "Shining3D" for third-party embedded implementations of their 3D printing services.

Alternative Solution:

• Users must export their Solid Edge files to a compatible 3D printing file format, e.g., STL, OBJ.

• The exported file must be manually uploaded to the chosen 3D printing service.
