I freely admit to being a complete librecad (and CAD in general) noob, so I am probably doing something utterly stupid and should be flogged, but...

I am using librecad to lay out a floorplan for home re-modeling.  The way I have done this to draw (essentially) two paths, one representing the interior surface of the walls and one representing the exterior surface of the walls (so that the space between the two paths is the wall itself).  I realize (or perhaps assume) that, as the paths have no real attributes natively, I need to assign attributes (like line-width and style and such) to each of the paths before it is "real" in the drawing.

The problem I am having is that, no matter what I do (as far as I have been able to figure out) about assigning attributes, the design I am working on remains stubbornly non-printable (i.e. if I send it to the printer I get a blank sheet of paper out of it and if I try to generate a PDF from it, I get a blank PDF file).

I am really wondering what I might be doing wrong.  I love librecad for this job because it permits me to be very precise in constructing the drawing, but, eventually, I will have to print out my work and give it to someone.

Any ideas???
