.PDF export and scale

Post by timelrd » Fri Apr 22, 2022 2:47 pm

I have been trying to export to .PDF but when I do nothing is visible. I load the saved .PDF and it is blank. One other issue I ran in to when it was recommended on this forum for printing that you have to set your scale as I thought maybe that was why the .PDF was blank. Scale isn't accessible or active to click. Please help.

Using windows 11, QCad version 3.27.1.0

The drawing is beside the page. You fit on the drawing on the paper. Please refer to:
