Well you are right, I would not draw with a pen of 0mm.

But that is not the way we came to this isue ...
I did not set line width to zero, I had all my layers changed with line width set to "Default" when I created a new one.

I discovered that there was a difference in Export to pdf between versions 213 and 220 as you can read from earlier posts.  v213 did print lines with line width set to Default or zero (which is not quite logic ...)

I was new to LibreCAD, so one imagines that default settings should always work and they did in v213.
In v220 Export to pdf prints lines with line width set to Default, as a very very thin line, almost not visible.
I had no idea that the Default line width setting of a layer did not print in v220.   Dellus came to that conclusion.

Would it not be logic to have a Default line width set to something other than 0 (zero), newbies will appreceate this ;-)
Would it not be logic to be able to set the Default line width to some default value that will be used for every new created layer - or being new to LC, did I miss this possibility ?
And why is a line with line width set to zero still printed as a very very thin line ?  Zero isn't zero is it ?

But now I set my line width to some other value than Default or zero an they print nicely ;-)
and I'm very happy to be able to use LibreCAD which I'm still discovering.
