Hatches Glitching when opening 2022 file in 2023

studio315 — Sat, 03 Sep 2022 00:08:23 GMT

Hello all,

I just updated from 2022 to 2023 and am having issues with the way my hatches are now displaying in 2023. I've tried turning on and off graphic acceleration but is doesn't seem to make any difference. Have included example images below:

AUTOCAD LT 2022

AUTOCAD LT 2023

Any help solving this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @studio315 ,

Please specify your Mac model.

Is it the same drawing?

Can you share your drawing here?

Hi Graham,

@studio315

Yes, I can reproduce this issue.

Looks like there is a bug in AutoCAD for Mac 2023 display driver with Metal mode for certain graphics cards.

Try to change Graphics Engine on General tab of AutoCAD Preferences from Metal to "OpenGL Core Profile", restart AutoCAD and test your drawing.
