2.0.3 only produces blank pages (2.0.2 works fine)

I have tried 2.0.3 on 3 windows machines (2 x XP, 1 x W7) to 3 physical Printers and 3 PDF printers. 2.0.3 produces either all white or all black output. Print Preview is fine.

Reverted to 2.0.2 and all machines and printers work perfectly.

I am facing the same problem - can not print any drawing with 2.0.3 on windows 7 x64 (print preview displays the drawing properly but actual print either to a pdf or any other printer produce a blank page).

The same drawing files can be printed with 2.0.2 !

202_01.dxf has been produced by ver 2.0.2
203_01.dxf has been produced by ver 2.0.3

both files have a single line.

both can be printed by ver 2.0.2
both produce a blank page when printed by ver 2.0.3

I have the same problem. Preview is fine, printed page is blank.

It seems to be a packaging issue again.

Please install librecad-2.0.3 by macports:

http://wiki.librecad.org/index.php/LibreCAD_Installation_from_Source#MacPorts

If it works by the 2.0.3 version from MacPorts, it confirms there's a packaging issue.

same issue on Windows!

I can confirm problem exists on MS Windows 7 with LC 2.03.

I also cannot export to PNG or SVG - it seems to be the same problem (empty file).

This post was updated on .

I haven't finished investigations now, but my assumption is the Qt version.

On Linux 2.0.3 prints fine, build with Qt 5.0.2
Windows 2.0.2 was build with Qt 5.1.1, printing is OK
Windows 2.0.3 was build with Qt 5.2.0, printing is broken

Please compare this with OSX versions, I can't do this.

Will try to build 2.0.3 with Qt 5.1.1 this evening.

Thank you Armin, it is appreciated.

As expected, LibreCAD 2.0.3 build with Qt 5.1.1 is capable to print and export SVG.

I've build a new installer and updated the Windows download on sourceforge.net.

This solves the issue for Windows, sadly I can't update the OSX package.

We have to investigate what's the problem with Qt 5.2.0 now.

Re: 2.0.3 only produces blank pages (2.0.2 works fine)

Thanks Armin,
Tested on Windows - works as predicted. Might have to warn users that the version (build) resulting in 28,259,235 bytes is the faulty one and resulting in 28,187,168 bytes is the working version - I notice that a build number is not expressed in the file.

Cheer,
David.

David,

glad to hear that it works.

As the source code is the same, the Version/SCM Version didn't change. To check which version is installed, best way is to look at the About dialog of the Help menu.

faulty was:
Qt Version: 5.2.0
Compiled on: Mar 23 2014

working version is:
Qt Version: 5.1.1
Compiled on: Apr 8 2014

Because the faulty installer is not longer available on sourceforge.net, there should be no confusion.
Anyway, I've updated the readme on the 2.0.3 download site with your information.
Thanks for your contribution.

Thanks for addressing this problem. I am a new user using the software to prepare a site plan to get planning approval to construct a building on my property. With the new package, i was able to successfully print, which is good as i need to submit a hardcopy of the site plan on Monday morning!

printing to pdf works in archlinux with Qt-5.2.1
