very fat lines on pdf output

Post by cbutcher » Sat Mar 25, 2023 4:44 pm

Not sure if this is a QCAD problem or a pdf application problem.

Some drawings exported to pdf work as expected. Others some or all line widths turn out to be huge, obliterating parts of the drawing. And all points in pdf drawings show as huge circles no matter what other settings I choose.

Some pdf apps print these things correctly and some don't. So I have to assume there is something in the output from the pdf export that is rendering some pdf lines large and all pdf points as giant circles.

I try to turn off all points for the xport, that is one solution. But I don't know how to manage matters in QCAD so the line width behavior is predictable.
