Help - after all work is done the DXF is empty...
Posted: Thu Jan 22, 2009 12:52 am
Hi folks,
I really started getting familiar with QCAD 2.0.5.0 on my linux box (Ubuntu 8.10) since a couple of days now...
Currently I'm preparing my motobike for this years amateur rallyes and offroad events, so I use QCAD to plan and construct some parts for it. Today I've finished one of these parts after hours of measuring and hours of drawing...
After I finished, I tried to print the drawing and the first time really worked fine (except the wrong paper format). Then I tried printing it out again an all I got was an empty PS-file (respectively only empty backgrounds)...
Doesn't sound that bad so far! BUT then I noticed, that the DXF-file is also empty - not only one object, nothing. Even though the layers are still defined and displayed in the list there is absolutely nothing in the canvas...
Before start freaking out totally - does anyone of you had this issue before and hopefully a solution for this???
I was going to visit a friend of mine tomorrow to put this stuff on a CNC machine - I suppose it's canceled now!
Thanks in advance
Stephan
