[solved] Problems with print preview

Post by mvanr » Sun Dec 09, 2018 6:50 pm

In drawing mode, everything looks fine, but when I switch to print preview, 2 lines appear that are not part of the drawing. I can't select or delete them.

Sure. I'm using the Windows 64 bit version, downloaded earlier today.

Thank you.

Those "phantom" lines are not lines - it is part of the Linetype "Tracks". For some reason here is a type used which isn't working for that particular case.

How to fix:
Select the Layer "Ravine",
Use the "Property Editor" to change the Linetype from "Racks" to e.g. "By Layer" and your problem should be solved.

Btw: It has nothing to do with your current issue but I've seen a "lost" Dimension which should be deleted if there is no reason for that :wink:

Changing the Linetype Scale property of the two splines from 1000 to 1 would also work while keeping the line style.
