When I import a drawing into QCad professional with latest update, the printed copy is very light, how can I fix that

Light or weak prints are usually caused by thin lineweights or light colors. You might have to increase your line weights or change your colors to something darker. If you can attach your drawing file, I can be more specific.

For all support requests, please:
- Indicate the operating system you are using and the version thereof (e.g. Windows 10 32bit, Windows 8.1 64bit, Ubuntu 14.2 64bit, macOS 10.12, etc.)
- Indicate the exact version of QCAD you are using (see Help > About or QCAD > About QCAD or indicate the name of the file you have downloaded and installed)
- Attach original drawing files (DXF, DWG, ...) if appropriate
- Attach exported files (SVG, PNG, PDF, ...) if appropriate
- Include screenshots if appropriate

Thankyou, I changed the lineweight to .2mm and it works well.
