FIrstly, congrats to the devs on creating a generally pretty intuitive system: I've previously used other drawing packages back as far as the original MacDraw, so I had a start, but from installing the package (version 2.2.0.2 on Fedora), then reading the documentation I thought I needed, to creating the drawing I wanted, took about an hour. I was stoked. It really is easy to use. But then came time to print...

guard_holes.dxf
(layer 045 is the relevant drawing I wish to print). Whether in preview or print to pdf, the page appears empty.

I've tried the tricks mentioned in other threads to make sure there isn't something way off in the boondocks, but seems to be OK. I think I have selected layer 045 (only) to print. I _believe_ I have set the units to mm (looks that way on the screen) and the scaling to 1:1 (the whole drawing is only 40x45mm, I just need to use it to drill some very precisely positioned holes). I believe the relevant line widths are set to 0.5mm. I've made everything red in case it was a problem of printing white-on-white, so that isn't it. Any thoughts on what I'm messing up?

Thanks for any help, I was up to 2am last night trying to make sense of this
