![]() ![]() I obtain the best quality using export from 2.1.3 (bad quality from printing to PDF)įrom 2.2.0. the export to PDF has the same bad quality, but printing to PDF is better. Not everything is printed from the export to PDF, whereas from they print correctly from a direct print.įor now I make my drawings in 2.2.0. Maybe I'm missing something since I'm new to LibreCAD.Īny suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If I can help in providing other information, please let me know. Now I had a look at it and I have no explanation. It's also strange the V220 export.pdf is much larger than the others. If you look right at it you can see that those missing lines are there, but very, very faint. I opened the pdf's in Inkscape to see if this reveals something. ![]() Couldn't find something in that direction. They are still in the pdf file, unvisible! But when I did some ungrouping which also unlocked from the page size cage, I found the other drawings on a large sheet visible. Have you converted a pdf plan to dxf with some external tool and then used that to draw the sewage and fresh water installation? Maybe that's the origin of the trouble. With my 2.2.0 Windows install I have no quality issue. If you have a windows machine available you could try if the problem persists. Or you could provide the dxf here for me to test. You could delete the other drawings and just leave the foundation plan. Yes you are right the lines are there but very very thin. I dont remember, but I may have tried to import some stuff as I was trying to figure out how LC works. :-)įrom my former CAD experience I have learned to make backups regulary so I have +20 copies of my file as it growed. Every ones and a while or when I have some important changes, I save my file to a new version and continue on the newest version.Īs I look back to the history of versions I see no important increase from one version to the other, they all increase gradualy. I have also searched the dxf files for "IMAGEDEF" or "AcDbRasterImageDef" which I had found in dxf files from other trials, but not in the versions with the export to pdf problem. I have made some other exports to pdf from 220 and they are all similar : some elements are not printed but they are there in a very very thin way. Printing directly from 220 to paper works just fine, every thing is shown. Printing direcly from 220 as pdf works also fine, but with lower quality. after some cleaning up I found my screen looking like there had been an explosion : Īs you mentioned a possible layer problem, I verified my layers. I selected and could delete them all.įor the moment being, my work around with an export from 213 still works, but for how long. I have included a zip of my dxf file, should you want to have a look at it, maybe you will see directly what could be the problem. Thank you in advance for looking into this. I have always wondered what "default" line width means in LibreCAD. In an other CAD I found it was possible to define it in the app to your liking, but didn't find this in LC. I guess it's a component of the dxf definition and so can't be ignored completely. There is not one linewidth for certain elements right for every scale, same for the level of detailing, text size, space between parallel dimension lines etc. For a good look and readability every scale needs a different layout. In this example, the start width of the first segment was set to 0.In the old times when drawing with ink pens on paper the thinnest line usable was 0.13 mm. You can select one or multiple polylines and use the property editor (View > Property Editor) to assign any custom lineweight ( global width):Īlternatively, you can assign custom lineweights to the start or end of an individual segment of the polyline (properties start width and end width). Almost all entities can be easily converted to polylines, for example using Draw > Polyline > Create from Segments for lines or arcs or using Modify > Explode for splines or ellipses. To make use of this feature, make sure that your entity is a polyline. However, there is a possibility to get around this limitation: custom segment widths for polylines. Being able to add other, custom lineweights in QCAD would break compatibility with any other DXF/DWG compatible CAD software. The lineweights available might seem somewhat arbitrary but are defined in the DXF/DWG standard. QCAD supports a fixed set of lineweights. ![]()
