Unreadable logo in Autocad

Anonymous — Tue, 21 Aug 2018 03:55:20 GMT

Hi everyone, sorry if this problem already been discussed but I couldn't find any. The inserted logo was unreadable in Autocad (pic attached). Well.. I'm an IT guy for my company and I'm asking this question on behalf of our designer.

May I know the solution?. Thank you in advance.

What file format is that chopped up logo(s)? What is the source?
How was it included in the cad file you screenshot for us?

HI @Anonymous,

The image you show is interesting but to really resolve this I would need to see the actual drawing file and any attachments that it references.

If your data needs to be private or confidential, please email it directly to me at john.vellek@autodesk.com and please include a link to this thread in your email.

Thanks @john.vellek and the rest for your response. Well, according to our designer, the logo was not imported from Jpeg but it seems like polyline. The logo is back to normal when using RE (REGEN) command however when send for plotting (either to PDF or Plotter) the logo came out like the pic attached above. Well I don't mind sharing the file with the rest of you but I couldn't find the function to attach the file. So I think I'll send directly to @john.vellek email for checking.

Thanks

have you tried auditing the file or perhaps simplifying the geometry?

Hi @Anonymous,

I suggest that a revisit to the type of geometry being used in the logo is needed.

When I take each block I see that the outlines of the logo and letters are made from complicated SPLINES.

You will see from this image how many control points define the circle at the bottom right and how only a few are necessary .

For the letters, they appear to be missing their boundaries as well. I selected each letter individually and rebuilt the boundary inside the hatch command and did not associate it with the existing hatch. Then I erased the hatch and made a new hatch from the reconstructed boundary. This also reduces the number of vertices.

Hi @Anonymous,

I am coming back to your thread to see if the issue or question you posed has been resolved. Did you try simplifying the geometry as I did in the file I emailed back to you? If so, please mark the post or posts as Solution(s) to help others find the answer quickly. If your issue persists, please give me a bit more detail on this issue so we can continue to work towards getting this solved.

Dear John,

Sorry for the late response as I did not get a reply from our designer yet. She's a bit slow and hard to get a cooperation from her sometimes. But I'll remind her again to test and share the update here soon.

Thanks.

Try to change hatch scale if it is a hatch pattern.

HATCHEDIT is the command.
