File - Export PDF broken in v2.2.1.2 works in 2.2.0.2

Open donfromvestal opened this issue 5 months ago • 1 comments

Hi, I have been using the same procedure in LibreCad for years now to produce 1:1 drawings (PDFs) of parts from a larger drawing. In this version the export pdf function produces something, but, the scale is way off. You can open the Mule.pdf and zoom out and see the borders of the large page. You can zoom way in and you will start seeing lines text etc. For Yucks I tried the Export svg. That gave me the whole drawing which was unexpected.

Look further below for Version: 2.2.0.2 where I got the expected (Mule2.pdf). The (Mule2.svg) of the whole drawing was unexpected as well. I really just need the export PDF. However, being able to produce svg for web applications might be useful too.

Version: v2.2.1.2 Compiler: Clang 15.0.0 Compiled on: Jul 14 2025 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Boost Version: 1.88.0 System: macOS 15.6

Same design file , settings, and printing/exporting procedure in this version of LibreCad works (Mule2.pdf) literally open the file, print preview, set the scale to 1:1 position the paper and export the PDF.

Version: 2.2.0.2 Compiler: Clang 13.0.0 Compiled on: Jul 29 2023 Qt Version: 5.15.10 Boost Version: 1.82.0 System: macOS 15.6

SVG did not work as expected in this version too.
