EPS to DXF export and object fill

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I am trying to create mask for litographic process which has to be stored in dxf file (it is my first time facing this file). The mask looks pretty simple, it contains just black solid lines followed by white spaces. First I have created EPS file and export it using pstoedit utility to dxf file (pstoedit -f "dxf" .input.eps > output.dxf). Everything works just fine (it seems to...), but the solid black lines (it is more like rectangle) are not filled. I have been trying to edit dxf file directly using specifications but without any success. If I create filled pattern in inkscape, for instance, and save it as dxf file, it is not filled as well.

Ok, It could be, that my reader (QCad) does not show it properly...
Here is that dxf file (just an example):

Any idea how to fill those rectangles?
Thanks a lot.

Your DXF file contains no fills: most likely your translator does not know how to handle the output from your originating program.

Here is your DXF with fills: seems to roundtrip into AutoCAD just fine.
