Thank you so much for looking into this.

Yes you are right the lines are there but very very thin.
I dont remember, but I may have tried to import some stuff as I was trying to figure out how LC works ... :-)

From my former CAD experience I have learned to make backups regulary so I have +20 copies of my file as it growed.  Every ones and a while or when I have some important changes, I save my file to a new version and continue on the newest version.
As I look back to the history of versions I see no important increase from one version to the other, they all increase gradualy. So no obvious increase from an insert.

I have also searched the dxf files for "IMAGEDEF" or "AcDbRasterImageDef" which I had found in dxf files from other trials, but not in the versions with the export to pdf problem.

I have made some other exports to pdf from 220 and they are all similar : some elements are not printed but they are there in a very very thin way.
Printing directly from 220 to paper works just fine, every thing is shown.
Printing direcly from 220 as pdf works also fine, but with lower quality ...

As you mentioned a possible layer problem, I verified my layers ... after some cleaning up I found my screen looking like there had been an explosion :  

It seemed to be a hatch problem ... I selected and could delete them all.

For the moment being, my work around with an export from 213 still works, but for how long ... ?

I have included a zip of my dxf file, should you want to have a look at it, maybe you will see directly what could be the problem.

Thank you in advance for looking into this.

Best Regards

Francis
