Transparent Hatching in AutoCAD for Mac

Anonymous — Mon, 16 May 2016 23:06:28 GMT

Im creating a solid hatching for a path in a grey and adding a transparency of 80.

when I export it to a pdf it creates lines all over the hatching?

Any ideas?

I see it in the PDF, but the dwg would be more helpful to see what's going on.

AutOCAD for MAC forum is way over there http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-for-mac/ct-p/3011

Remember to share your DWG file and let them know you are using the MACOSX 10.11.4, the Quatrz drvier and list your AutOCAD/LT version too,

Hi @Anonymous,

I am unable to duplicate this situation in a new, clean drawing.Can you tell me the process you are using to create the PDF? Please also attach a sample drawing so I can further assist you.

Hi,

It is knowing bug in AutoCAD for Mac (since initial contemporary 2011 version).
The workaround is here:

IHi maxim_k,

I am curious to see if this bug has been fixed. As I mentioned, in AutoCAD 2016 for Mac I created a new solid hatch with 80% transparency and it showed up correctly.

Have you tried this yet? If so, can you attach your drawing for me? I would like to think this is finally solved

Hi John,

The results are in attached PDF file.

AutoCAD 2016 with Update 1 installed.

The bug is still there.

Hi @maxim_k, I stand corrected. The first time I tried to do this it appeared to plot correctly but perhaps when I clicked Plot Transparencies it didn't stay turned on.

What is even more perplexing is that when I opened your sample on the Windows side it too plotted with the lines.

A strange bug that I hope gets remedied. Thanks as always for your contributions.
