DWF and Hatching

[Anonymous]

I have a map that I'm working on that contains a theme with the swamp hatch pattern. On one page when I plot to DWF I get the full layout but the hatching never shows up. On another page, from essentially the same layout, I get a DWF that appears to be missing information or is layered incorrectly. Depending on the hatch pattern that I choose, the problem can go away but I never actually get any hatching. In all cases the thumbnail displays correctly (I don't know if this means that the info is the dwf or not).

I have moved the map/dwg to another machine and still get the same behaviour so I don't think it is a graphics card issue.

Is there anything I can do to get a complete DWF with the correct hatch pattern?

Thanks.

What graphic board does show the discrepancy?

Thank you.

Hi,

Both graphics cards result in the same DWF the same problem. One is an nvidia FX-1000 and the other is an ATI Fire GL.

The differentiator seems to be what type of hatching I choose. With 'shape fill 12' I get a full dwf although with no detectable hatching with either swamp or grass I seem to get a partial dwf.
In AutoCad layout view the hatches do appear correctly.

I am using AutoCAD MAP 3D 2008 with SP1 installed. I am plotting with the standard DWF6 ePlot and using acad.ctb. Neither have been modified.

I have attached the swamp pattern dwf. I could not attach both as it/they are too large.

Thanks
