![]() I did not set line width to zero, I had all my layers changed with line width set to "Default" when I created a new one. Well you are right, I would not draw with a pen of 0mm.īut that is not the way we came to this isue. Think of how you want the lines in that scale on a paper plan, that's the right linewidth. With 0.00 mm or the 0.05 you used it all looks fine on screen and you can zoom in to see all the fine detail in high resolution, but when printed on paper the lines get bloated.įor dimensions text height you have chosen 1 mm, you might need a magnifying glass to read that on paper. In the old times when drawing with ink pens on paper the thinnest line usable was 0.13 mm. For a good look and readability every scale needs a different layout. 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. I guess it's a component of the dxf definition and so can't be ignored completely. 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 have always wondered what "default" line width means in LibreCAD. Thank you in advance for looking into this. 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. 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. 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. Printing direcly from 220 as pdf works also fine, but with lower quality. Printing directly from 220 to paper works just fine, every thing is shown. 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. 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. 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. :-)įrom my former CAD experience I have learned to make backups regulary so I have +20 copies of my file as it growed. I dont remember, but I may have tried to import some stuff as I was trying to figure out how LC works. Yes you are right the lines are there but very very thin. You could delete the other drawings and just leave the foundation plan. Or you could provide the dxf here for me to test. If you have a windows machine available you could try if the problem persists. With my 2.2.0 Windows install I have no quality issue. 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. 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. Couldn't find something in that direction. I opened the pdf's in Inkscape to see if this reveals something. If you look right at it you can see that those missing lines are there, but very, very faint. It's also strange the V220 export.pdf is much larger than the others. Now I had a look at it and I have no explanation. If I can help in providing other information, please let me know. ![]() Maybe I'm missing something since I'm new to LibreCAD.Īny suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 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. the export to PDF has the same bad quality, but printing to PDF is better. I obtain the best quality using export from 2.1.3 (bad quality from printing to PDF)įrom 2.2.0. ![]() I have noticed quite a difference in output quality between exporting to PDF and printing and then selecting output to PDF from the printing options on OSX versions.
