Cannot produce aligned dimension lines

I have managed to get the aligned dimension line that I needed. However, I'm confused by the interaction of the dimension lines and the Snap functions. Until now, I had not been able to see the boxes surrounding the choices of the Snap menu. They are very faint on my monitor. Once I noticed them, I...

Difficulty changing line width

.... Also, when I export the file in a .jpg format, it is still thin. My purpose in this instance is to arrive at a .jpg file that can be posted on another forum to be read by others with a line thickness large enough to be easily read. So far, I have not been able to achieve this. I have been able to export a file and post it, but the result is very faint. Please advise further.

Nothing seems to work

.... There should be a text based main menu. Oh, there is one to be seen at the top, but it's not within the LibreCAD window. Queer. I faintly remember there has been a version with the main menu missing or not properly displayed. Regarding nothing to be seen: a doubleclick on the middle mousebutton / wheel should zoom into the extents of your drawing, show everything.

DXF File Import Issues

I don't know how to find out what the invalid objects are. I faintly remember having seen that with the lines to the origin sometimes before, but can't remember the abouts. You could look on which layer the are, maybe this helps to find out the reason. LibreCAD doesn't have the advanced layout...

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...

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...

Loading and printing files

Sheets blank: often the reason is linewidth "By Layer" is set, where default is 0.00mm. Depending on printer often not printed at all, or very very faint. But as you say - Preview blank: preview shows linewidth 0.00mm, so it must be something different. Maybe out of the sheet, or very small. Try...

Downscaling Pictures, didnt find an solution

... distance between the grid points depends on the zoomfactor. The "Grid Status" in your screen shows the distance between grid points / grid lines. So a grid status of "1/10" means that the horizontal or vertical distance between two grid points is 1 unit. The distance between grid lines (the faint dotted lines) is 10 units. Hope this helps, Ruud

Inside-horizontal dimensions

Tested now, works. Wondered how existing drawings with fixed extension lines made in the old version would open. I had a faint hope the values would somehow be automatically adapted to the new system, but nope. So old drawings will have to be adapted manually, no biggie, but users will have to know...

Table with the hatch models of LibreCad 2.2.0.rc1

... didn't show in the applied hatch. What a pity, this would have been a way to make pixel patterns. If you don't know how to spend your time and like making tables, for libraries like "arch blocks" an oversight as pdf, maybe even with an underlying faint light coloured square hatch for size indication, would be handy.

Line widths specified in mm, but rendered as imperial

... line broadening. BTW export to png defaults are totally unusable as well. I don't understand why the default line widths are such that they print extremely faintly. They are fine on a screen, but I don't have a computer in my workshop, nor would I wish to expose my computers to all the...

Export / print to PDF

Now I had a look at it and I have no explanation. It's also strange the V220 export.pdf is much larger than the others. If you look right at it you can see that those missing lines are there, but very, very faint. I opened the pdf's in Inkscape to see if this reveals something. I suspected some...
