Hello,
I'm using
QCAD
Versie: 2.2.2.0
[Professional]
on Windows XP
(dutch version)
When I try to export my schematics (.dxf) to pdf, QCAD crashes.
I also tried to export as bitmap, but the generated files are empty.
What's wrong?
Regards,
Koen
QCAD crashes during pdf-export.

I'm also observing the same crash. I'm overlaying a png image of size 1728x2592 with some dimension drawing, then try exporting to pdf. The png was imported with factor of 1.
I need to know whether I need to re-import with smaller factor to work around this issue. I already spent alot of time drawing the overlay and don't want to have to redo. The png and dxf files are sent to info [at] ribbonsoft [dot] com. Thanks.

QCAD might run out of memory when exporting or printing a drawing with one or more large bitmaps in it. This has to do with the way how bitmaps are displayed and exported.
A possible workaround is to reduce the image resolution but I understand that this is not always desired. We will look into the problem for a future QCAD version.

Re: QCAD crashes during pdf-export.
Hi,
I am using the same QCAD, just german version. Crashing happened to mee too, when I tried directly to export to pdf without prior Print preview.
When doing print preview first, it didn't crash, but produced empty files.
Are you having a format other than A4 or A3? It seems to have problems there.
