Issue with hatch included in a dynamic block in AutoCAD 2014 and 2015,
If the attached S2.dwg (attached) is open in AutoCAD 2014, then the hatched included in the dynamic block appears (screenshot is attached). If the same file is open in the AutoCAD 2015, then this hatch disappears (screenshot is attached).
What might be the issue here?
Thank you

I'm not sure why, but it appears that Acad 2015 either isn't displaying or isn't interpreting the hatch scale correctly. The fix was easy. To display the hatch pattern "Angle" (used in the original file), in file S2-1 I decreased the hatch scale to .05 - hatch now displays. In file S2-2, I changed the hatch pattern to "Solid" (I suspect this is what was desired based on the appearance when opening in Acad 2014) - hatch now displays. To change the display scale of the pattern "Angle", Open block (in block editor) use keystroke "ctrl+a" (select all), then either in Quick Properties, or Properties Palette, expand the Object type dropdown (top of window) select "Hatch". The properties of all of the hatch objects will display, change the scale to a smaller value to make the pattern more dense, or a larger value to make it more open. At factor 1, there was none of the "linework" pattern being displayed, only the spaces. This might be another hatch bug similar to the one that SP1 Beta fixed, where associative hatches with background fill picked up the color of their boundary objects, regardless of how the hatch properties were set. Hope this helps.
Thank you very much DanielSanders4280 for the help. This is very useful.
