auto cad LT not printing or previewing full range of hatching

Anonymous — Mon, 15 Mar 2021 10:12:28 GMT

A first timer. Im running a 2018 Autocad LT on a Mac system.

When 'previewing' plots or saving to 'pdf' four colours out of 19 hatch colours are showing as white, even though the drawing has the full range.

Hatching is set to 'true colour'.

The file is 1.9MB & the system 16GB ram and the processor os 3.4Ghz, so I suspect its not a system overload.

Cheers

Hi @Anonymous ,

Sorry, but you forgot to attach screenshots...

Anyway, it will be better to have your drawing at hand along with plot style table file if any. You can use Package Drawing to create an archive with all necessary info.

And what about the DWG file itself?
Can you share it?

I also noticed that you are using 2018 version on Big Sur, but this version is not supported officially on this new macOS. At the same time, I think that the problem is not related to incompatibility.

>>>The cad files ctb files will not upload for some reason.
In AutoCAD - save your drawing, from menu File select Package drawing, in Package settings ensure that package type is Compressed file (.zip), create ZIP archive with "Package Files" button.
Attach resulting ZIP archive here.

Hatches and lines that do not show in PDF are on non printable Layers.
For example, on Layer "h OP48A":

That is why you cannot see them in PDF.

You need to turn off "Not to print option" for these Layers in the Layers palette.
