PDF Export

[RitoonL]

Hello,

While exporting in PDF A4 Landscape, The export makes a A4 Portrait. It seems that exporting PDF does not respect format of the Drawing you made.

I haven't found any option to export to the right format. Any Clues ?

Thanx by advance.

Don't use File->Export... with subsequent selection of PDF type, use File->Export PDF instead (different menu entry).

I think the fix for this problem should also fix this. There should be an entry in the list of exportable formats called "Technical Drawing". That is the one to use.

Cool! I just tested Technical Drawing export in PDF format, it works as expected.

This is the FreeCAD version that includes this new export option:

I seem to have the same issue with PDF export.
Trying to export an 11x17 drawing but I get a different size.

Tabloid/Ledger is always a problem. It is the only case where the same paper size has two entries in Qt's list of valid paper sizes - separate ones for portrait & landscape. Seems like the paper size overrides the orientation.

I'll see if I can figure out a special case for Tabloid/Ledger.

Export to Tabloid/Ledger (Ansi B) paper should be fixed by this git commit dca9120de.

Muchos Gratias, how long before this is available in the python 3.6 appimage download?

Sorry, the whole app image production process is a mystery to me.
