The problem occurs using OO 2.4.1 on debian Linux and Windows XP. I have not
tested on OO 3.0 as it is not in Debian testing yet. Now idea how go-oo handles
this either.

The attached drawings are obtained after importing SVG drawings using the SVG
import extension.

I have obviously taken just a few polygons from the original drawing which was
proprietary. The source was an Autocad drawing printed to a SVG virtual printer.
The SVG itself looks OK in Inkscape.

Importing the SVG leads to the file 'original.odg' which for the purpose of this
example should be considered OK.
Exporting this to PDF shows what I get on my printer which is also OK.

Copy-paste to writer lead to the upper drawing in Writer (embedded.odt), which
is made up of grouped writer drawing elements and is also OK as can easily be
seen in the PDF embedded.pdf).

However, I normally prefer to paste the drawing as a Draw 8 object, because this
embeds the original drawing in Writer, which I can later edit in Draw if needed.
Also since it is an object, text wraps around the entire object.

The problem is the rendering of the Draw 8 object (the bottom drawing). As can
be seen the line widths are lost and set to minimal for certain poly lines, but
not for simple lines. You will notice that breaking these polylines into simple
lines will restore the line widths as rendered by writer, but then the lines are
broken and can not be glued back.

You can imagine that the result of a complete imported Autocad drawings looks
quite unreadable as line widths are used in technical drawings to distinguish
between solid parts and all kinds of other symbols, arrows, size indicators etc.

I really hope this can be fixed before 3.0.1.

Thanks

Ferry
