SAFeSTeR Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Try using a hatch gradient if your version supports it, else you may have to make some creative hatch boundaries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAFeSTeR Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Doesn't 2013 have the GRADIENT command? It can also be found in the HATCH dialogue box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Even using a two color gradient in AutoCAD will not give the OP exactly what he is looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobDraw Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 How about using another hatch for the overlapping areas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to overlap one strip or stripe over another solid colour say blue and red.........where the centres merge/mix purple is seen as in a hand painted design............can autocad do this? you may be able to achieve something like this using CYMK halftone, but I'm not sure if the overlapping effects would work properly or even if the principle only works on printed media. I would think the easiest would be as previously suggested and mimic the interaction by creating a new hatch at the crossing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven-g Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Transparency will do it, using solid hatch as a pattern, or having lineweights which is probably harder to control, set transparency to something higher than 60 and adjust it for the effect you want. You will need to turn on the screen visibility for both lineweight and transparency if you want to try them (it's 2 of the toggle buttons on your status bar at the botttom of the screen) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCADnoob Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 If you cant do it in CAD you might be able to give graphic a shot. http://graphic.autodesk.com/ Since its a recent acquisition it probably wont be fully integrated with the autodesk suite but it looks promising... except that its only made for macs right now...
