I've been working on a file for a week. When I opened it this morning it's completely blank. What should I do? I've tried zoom all and there's nothing there. Also there aren't any layers anymore either. It looks, as far as I can tell, a new file with no evidence of my work.
How can we remove the empty layers from drawing?
I had saved a drawing about new house yesterday.
Today, if i will open it, the drawing is complete empty and there are 2 chrash files in the folder.
Hard to say what happened, without detailed information.
Which LibreCAD version do you use? Which operating system? Can you attach this empty file?
You can look into your project folder, where you saved the file, maybe there is an autosave or backup file.
Use the file browser/explorer and look...
There is one more quick way to remove empty/unused layers.
You just create new empty drawing. Then you select all objects in your original drawing and copy them to the new empty drawing. Only used layers are created in the list of layers of the new drawing.
Regards.
Maybe this helps:

Coud be that in the file open dialog is selected "Qcad 1.x file" as file type?
If so, please select "Drawing exchange"
The other files you see are backups that Librecad generates automatically, if I am not mistaken.

Hello,
I would like to print a map for our project at our University. After I convert my file into PDF, it shows nothing. This "map" should be 1 meter wide and 3 meters high. All squares must be 10cmx10cm. Here is the file: map.dxf
Hi I'm a newbie and I have searched these forms for an answer to my problem without success. When I use the dimension function I only get empty boxes instead of numbers. But when I look at print preview I see the numbers.
I've spent awhile trying to convert from DXF to PDF using dxf2pdf. If I convert with no flags, I get an empty pdf that's 92Kb. If I crank up the DPI, scaling, fit, page size, or otherwise use optional flags, I get a mostly blank PDF with some small artifacts in the lower right hand corner.
Tips on using the command line conversion tool?
Hey, that's a very good trick!
But keep in mind that in LibreCAD V2.1.3 you will lose the hatches (bug, solved in 2.2.0). Also you will have to take care that the new empty drawing has the same settings in Current Drawing Preferences.
So in further development of your trick, I had the thought...
...Hi.
I wanted to a import a dxf file with a simple polyline. The "Free DWG Viewer" opens and shows this file, but LibreCAD don't.
Can anybody tell me, what's going wrong?
