    Hi,

    very new beginner here hoping someone can tell me what i need to do here.

    I have a pdf that has layers (?) (as seen in the jpeg below showing the pdf import settings box), but when opening in inkscape the line diagram is blank. There is a "bounding box" indicating something is there, and all the paths are listed. Anyway i can get the line diagram to display that keeps the lines in their own "layer"?

    Note, all the paths have the eye open icon.

    Thanks for any help.

    Maybe try: Extensions->Arrange->Deep Ungroup and check if anything will be visible now. Could be all "gxxx" are clipping groups - in this case you may need to select everything and go Objects->Clip->Release Clip.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the reply,

    Actually it was something weird, by changing the stroke style to 0.500 px for the layer in question, the sketch suddenly appeared.

    I got the tip from the company I downloaded the file from.

    Cheersย ๐Ÿ™‚
