export PDF techdraw template too light

Post by rookiebeotch »

When i export to PDF the drawing and annotation look fine but the template format (i.e. svg) lines are real light. They are barely visible when in pdf.

Was not like this in 0.18.
i made a new page via template and it also looks like the template lines are greyed out.
Is there a setting for the SVG/template line display?

i tested with an included template and that looks ok when in pdf...
So...Maybe my custom SVG template is treated different now?

Line width for the template is controlled by the "stroke-width:0.35" clause in the style attributes of the SVG code. This did not change between v18 and v19.

If it is the same template in both versions, the line widths should be the same.

If you post your custom template, I will have a look.
