Beginners' Questions Not all objects are printed

    Hi,

    I'm drawing a small half-timbered house for my n-scale scenery.

    It looks like not all objects that I draw are printed. Both on my canon printer and also not when I print to PDF.

    I think it has to do with flipped or rotated objects.

    Can someone help me with this, or is it a bug, or do I have to many objects?

    I would like to add my document and the printed PDF, but I don't see an option in this forum.

    Sould I mention this as a bug? Where do I do that?

    Thanks for your replys.

    All good here with Inkscape´s (1.4beta3/macOS) export to PDF; see attachment. And printing works here directly from Inkscape when Rendering tab is set to "Bitmap/300dpi".

    Strange. I use Inkscape 1.3.2 on Windows.

    I installed 1.4beta and 1.4beta3 for Windows and I still get the same errors in both versions.

    I believe you without opening the attachments. Strange indeed. Not sure if there´s a difference between saving as or exporting. Perhaps select all brick pattern parts and go Path->Union and instead of the "clipped and masked" icon make a duplicate.

    Both Save a Copy... and Export... to PDF works here on Windows 11.
    It is a well known issue that Print... from Inkscape doesn't always work as expected on Windows.

    Be aware that pdf-s has poor(no) support for masking in inkscape so try avoid those.
