Print alignment

Post by FILZ » Tue Mar 22, 2016 11:17 pm

Andrew
I have installed the most recent version of QCad 3.13.1.0 (64) HP envy 30MB ram win 10
My drawings are not printing with correct alignment
I am able to carry out a PDF export and the alignment is ok, if I print the same drawing directly from the program there is an offset of about (3mm,-3mm)
Printing to a "print to pdf" printer has the same effect as printing to paper
I have tried 2 different printers
I can’t say for certain that this was working for me in the previous version 13.12.8 (64), but I certainly had no problems in the past using most version back to 2.2.2.0.


Thanks for your ongoing development of this outstanding product, and for your considerable efforts to answer forum questions so promptly

Thank for your report.

This appears to be a Qt (on Windows 10) bug which we cannot fix on our side.

Possible workarounds are:
- Use PDF export instead of printing.
- Install the 32bit package of QCAD. This uses an older Qt version which does not seem to have that problem.
