Autocad LT Leader Lines missing from PDF export - but leader head + text showing

Hi - hoping someone can help with this issue - my leader lines  are not exporting but the leader head and text is. 

 

It randomly started happening this afternoon and I have been googling with no luck finding a solution. I use Autocad LT daily for work and need to sort this out as I cannot export any of my drawings with the leader lines missing. 

 

Any help / suggestions / questions are welcomed. I have uploaded the file + images of how the drawing should look and how it exports out. 

 

I have tried:

- restarting Autocad LT

- restarting computer

 

Thank you!

Though I don't have LT, I cannot replicate your problem in AutoCAD 2024 or 2025.

@rkmelhuish Why is your layer 0 (zero) turned off? That is one layer that always needs to be turned on/thawed/unlocked/set to print 100% of the time with no exceptions in the program.

 

See if that solves your PDF issue (also try PLOT instead of "export", you get more control that way too).

 

Then try not using your plot style table to see if it has an erroneous setting.

 

No issues here but I turned on your layer zero and I don't have your plot style table so I used NONE

And your DWG file truly needs purging and auditing too: and consider locking your viewports.

 

LT2025.1.1 here in Windows10Pro: you?

@pendean Thank you for having a look at this for me - feeling very silly - as you are right Layer 0 always needs to be turned on and for some reason it was turned off. 

 

I updated my computer graphic drivers, along with updating autocad LT + turning on Layer 0 seems to have fixed it.

 

Thank you so much! 🙂
