alanjt Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Use true color 255,255,255. It will show up white in cad (ugly), but plot how you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CadFrank Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 Well I just got another way of getting what I want.(!) the command wipeout puts a area in background color. and its faster then putting a hatch. cheers to that also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack_O'neill Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I have in the past been accused of not being the brightest crayon in the box, but i gotta ask....how does using a hatch the same color as your background help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organic Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Colour 255,255,255 is the same color as white paper, so provided the OP is printing onto white paper, having a hatch that color will work exactly the same as an AutoCad wipeout without all the problems associated with wipeouts when printing. Oh! they might be some problems with pdf.. not to good for me but ill see if i get them. someone where i worked just suggested me that... ill see whats betters when i do a few test. 255,255,255 solid hatch has worked with every PDF program/printer I have ever used. The same cannot be said for wipeouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
