Printouts are blank
Hi,
I have just started to use qcad community but when I try to print I only get blank pages. PDf's are also blank, despite being OK in preview and getting "export complete" message in command toolbar I have adjusted paper and drawing units to match and can see page outline. Operating on XP Do I need the pro version?
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Hi,
I have used colours on drawing and in drawing preferences the printing is set to colour so I assume it should be visible

Hi bozzle
Welcome to the forum
From your explanation it seems you are doing things correctly, however if you cannot resolve this problem are you able to set up a simple example drawing and post it here on the forum, so we can test it out?

Or unless this file is private of course, that's why I suggested to draw up a quick example file and attach it so that we can try to reproduce the issue and resolve it.bozzle wrote:Clive,

[Edit: Just had another thought about this problem, check your line weights are not 0.00]

Do not understand what happened as file no longer exists on my pc. Please find another one
When I boot up I only get to 97% then get a message "report translation error" which may have followed me cancelling purchase options. Should I reinstall?

Re: Printouts are blank
Test2 opens fine for me and exports to pdf without problems.
'Booting up to 97%' , please explain - is this with test1, test2 or something else.

Hi bozzle,
your Drawing Unit and your Paper Unit is right now adjusted for Meters ... what means your Paper size is 210x297 Meters. Maybe a little bit to big for your Printer
Please change the settings to mm. You can do that for the current drawing below:
Edit / Drawing Preferences / General / Drawing Units
Or if you like to have this settings for all new drawing:
Edit / Application Preferences / Defaults for new drawings / Drawing Unit
Hope this will fix the print problem. If not ....

Guys,
Having adjusted paper size the print function operates as expected. Many thanks for your help
