Export what is shown in preview

Hi all,

I have an Illustrator file, which kind of roiginated from an accident. Howeve it look pretty cool and I want to export it as png.

Problem: all the paths have 0 stroke so basically nothing is getting exported.

When setting the stroke to anything >0, a lot of the structure disappears (see 2nd screenshot)

What I see and what i want to export

What comes out when raising the stroke size:

TIA for any help 🙂

It is the result of the GPU Preview. A 0pt line is not really visible. The CPU Preview (Ctrl E on Win) gives a slower but correct result.

A screendump (or multiple stitched ones) is the only way to export the error.
