Hatch with transparency - Plotting issues

Hatch with transparency - Plotting issues

Anonymous

Dear AutoDesk community,

 

I'm trying to print a document that has a hatch with transparency, but there's a difference between the preview on the screen and the result, see attached documents. I use AutoCAD 2017 for Mac, the hatch consists of a linear gradient with two Pantone colors with transparency at 60% and on the page's set up the "Print transparency" box is checked.

 

Looking forward to hearing your answers receive my regards,

 

Alvaro

Hi Alvaro,

 

I think the case is in plotter software you are using to create PDF from your drawing - HP DeskJet 6980 series as I see from Page setup.

I've tried to save to PDF on my Mac using two different ways: one with Gutenprint driver (http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php)  - Hatch - Plot-Gutenprint.pdf

 

and another way - using Batch Publish feature (AutoCAD PDF driver) - Batch publish.pdf

You see the results are different.

 

Plus I don't have plot style table assigned in your page setup, but I think it shouldn't affect color of the hatch.

 

So you need to try another printing device for PDF output.

Thank you Maxim,

 

Using "Batch publish" and "DWG to PDF" the result was perfect.
