I'm actually in a professional retraining to become woodworker. During this Covid-19 period where we are closed in house here in France, my woodwork teacher ask us to work on "Sketchup", wich I can't use (and don't want to) because my computer is now on Linux.
So yersterday, I stardted to work on Freecad during hours with a MOOC (https://www.fun-mooc.fr/courses/course- ... on01/about), and I was really glad to discover and learn the bases on this very interesting app. But finally, when i tried to export my projetcs on pdf (also in stl), It wasn't working at all; i just had white pages...
I had a look on the french forum, but did'nt fine any real answer to solve my problem, althought it seems that this is maybe an already knowned problem with Freecad. I also had a look in this engligh forum, but i did'nt find more answers (or in this langage, i didn't find the good keywords...), so sorry if the problem is already discussed somewhere...
I would really like to export my work (already to send it to my teacher
) because I don't wan't do leave this app for another. I really enjoy it (event if it's quite hard to start!)I read somewhere there was a possible problem with "Python". And for information, when I was using Freecad I had sometimes a xubuntu problem alert about "Python", but without more explaination, and didn't change the practicle use of the app. I also read that there was an issue with Intel but did'nt fid anything concrete to apply to my situation.
I'm using Freecad 0.18.4 on Xubuntu 18.04.4.
Because i serously followed the mooc step by step, i don't think that the issue is coming from my way to built the objects on Freecad.
Or did I missed some addons or whatever?
Thank you very much if someone can give me a little help to solve this problem!
(I'm precising that I'm not very good on Linux, and that I still need slow step by step for command lines)
