Hi @Anonymous,

Is it possible to send me both the DWG and the EPS file? What is the final target for this EPS file? Did you use and EPSout to get it into that format?

Hi @Anonymous,

Did you resolve your question or can you share some files? I am happy to help you with this issue.

Thanks for the quick response and sorry I cannot get to my emails as quickly when I'm offsite periodically. See attachment below.

I'm using AutoCAD 2017. Weird thing is, I don't have any issue using AutoCAD 2010 and hatch. Incompatibility with Word or AutoCAD settings maybe?

We create eps files using "psout" to visually check them in Word before sending the eps files to the publishing department.

Hi @Anonymous,

I tested this process in AutoCAD 2014-2018. It appears that exporting the EPS with hatches ceased to include that hatches in 2015 and has not returned.

I will log this issue with the team. In the mean time you might find that using TIFOUT will work for this process but you will have to be conscious that it captures the background color too.

Another option might be to USE DXF files or open the dwg file in another editor and save it as SVG or EPS from there.

Well at least we know now. Fortunately the customer only has 2010 and I can work around the issue.

Will there be any way of knowing when the fix is made?

HI @Anonymous,

As I mentioned, I did log this with the team for evaluation. I try to be diligent in following up with threads on such issues and will do so here as well. There is no guarantee that I will catch this if it happens but I will certainly do my best.
