print command does not work

If you just print out of the print or export to pdf command the contents of the drawing might have not been properly placed on the sheet, but out of the area. Always print or export out of the Print Preview mode. Is it properly shown in Print Preview? Other possible reason: Linewidth 0 (default) prints out on some printers or is shown in some pdf-viewers as indeed 0, invisible or only very faintly visible.

Default line width in Application Preferences?

I agree this is a good suggestion. Currently default line width is 0.00 mm. This often leads to dispaired newbies wondering why there is no or very faint print out. I have opened an issue at github and suggested to change it to 0.25 mm and also mentioned that in more advanced CAD apps it is...

..., some drop them completely or show as a very, very faint line only. Set linewidth in the Layer List via the Modify Layer Attributes button to 0.25mm or similar. Does this help?

Text too faint when printed

...This is because the line width of dimension extension lines, dimension lines and arrows or ticks can be set in Options - Current Drawing Preferences - Dimensions in a different value than the general line property of the whole dimension, which is handled as a block. So the general line width......

Text too faint when printed

Thanks. It was the problem. The confusing thing was that the lines were fine. Only the text was faint

Text too faint when printed

As text size comes out right and the other dimension elements appear not too faint I suspect it has to do with line width. It is typical for line width 0 to disappear completely in a pdf, also depending on the pdf-viewer. Check the overall line width of the dimension and change to maybe 0.25 mm if it is 0.

Text too faint when printed

Hi All, Everything looks good in the drawing and in the print preview. However when printed the dimensions text is very faint. Right size but very faint. I can adjust the text size, but it still prints very faint. Draft is off. Text is printed, but very faint. When trying to print into PDF - no text at all. Thanks

Issue reopening saved Figure Templates

I think inches fit better.Then the letter paper size fits the paper frame in Layer Paper_Space with scale set at 1.1 in Print Preview. Also with mm you get very faint lines in Print Preview, with inches it looks right. There is no real paper space in LibreCAD as in AutoCAD. Layer 0 is empty in this drawing. You can't clip a bitmap within LibreCAD.

Printing issues

Thanks for your reply I am currently using a line width of 0.25mm so that should not be the issue. When printing I only get very faint reproduction including text which is currently set at 2.5. When printing from print preview I can see immediately that the drawing is going to print too big as...

Printing issues

What means you can hardly see the print? Lines too faint and thin? Check the line widths used. Maybe 0.00 mm or Default (the same)? Use a proper line width like 0.25 mm. If you have used ByLayer then set in the layer properties. How line width 0.00 is displayed in a pdf is determined in the pdf viewer and can be handled differently. Wrong scale when printing to pdf: print from Print Preview in any case.

point select not working

I faintly remember there already a similar issue with angle dimensions has been mentioned here. So I searched for it, and it has been you! https://forum.librecad.org/Can-no-longer-select-most-objects-with-mouse-pointer-tp5717668p5717672.html So still the same problem! Sorry, I don't know a solution.
