zcampos Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 ?:oops:Hello I am still really new at CAD and was hoping someone could help me. I am trying to convert a drawing to PDF but I keep losing the hatch in the conversion. Is this normal? Can the hatch be converted to PDF with the rest of the drawing? Please help! ?:?

Tiger Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 How are you 'converting'? Is the Hatch on a non-plot layer? Look in the Layer Manager if you see a red line over the printer-icon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zcampos Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 Tiger, I have NOOOOO WORDS!!!! That was exactly my problem. The layer I created was off for printing and then I realized that the hatch was not on the right layer it was on a defpoint layer!!!! YOU ROCK!!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!! I have been trying for a week now and didn't understand why it wasn't working!!! I guess it also helps if I would have put it on the appropriate layer and not the defpoints layer. lololol, THANK YOU!

Tiger Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 glad to help ZCampos, I think everyone have beaten their head against the dashboard at one point or another until you find the Non-Plot-button For futurue reference, don't use the Defpoints layer for pretty much anything. You can create as many layers and you need and set them plot / non-plot as you wish, the Defpoints layer can sometimes mess things up. So just stay clear of it just in case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
