Dashed lines not printing

Post by Learnincurve » Wed Nov 05, 2014 8:54 am

Hi.

I just upgraded to 3.7.0 pro

1. Linux x86_64 debian sid, kernel 3.16-10, GCC 4.9.1, KDE 4.14.1, QT 4.8.6
2. Linux i686 Ubuntu 14.04

I notice that there are now many more line types and that when print-previewing, that the screen-based linetypes must be turned on to see them (I note that there is another post asking about this).

After upgrading my dashed lines are all printing as solid, both when exporting to pdf and printing to paper. I have tried with and without the screen-based linetypes option.

I attach a drawing for your reference.

SOLVED: Dashed lines not printing

My problem had to do with line-widths.

I found this viewtopic.php?t=327 earlier thread explaining the reason.

QCAD 3.7.1 has been released which should fix this problem.
