Hi, Running QCAD 3.20.1 on Mac High Sierra. Have made a plan for a cabinet and tried to print. The print preview looks nothing like what actually prints. These are shown in the screen shot (Screen) and PDF of the print output (Test). It looks like one of the layers refuses to print despite being "visible". Help appreciated
Many thanks

please check the Layer Status. Plottable needs to be checked.

Re: Print problem
Thanks. Yes that was the answer. Now prints fine. I did notice that unless I have the new layer set to have the "0" layer as the parent then "plotable" defaults back to unticked and won't save as ticked.

I can't confirm that behavior on Win10. It loads as saved.sdev wrote:I did notice that unless I have the new layer set to have the "0" layer as the parent then "plotable" defaults back to unticked and won't save as ticked.

Re: Print problem
Layer "Defpoints" is an internal layer of the DXF/DWG format. It is by definition not plottable. Long story short: don't use layer "Defpoints" for anything and just leave it as it is.
