Random lines in transparent hatch when exporting to pdf

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I'm working with Autocad 2016 on Mac and there are random diagonal lines on all the hatches that have transparency when I print to PDF.

How do I fix this?

Thanks for your help.

The problem isn't fixed.

I put the HPMAXLINES to 1000000. I am not sure about the GRAPHICSCONFIG, there is no ''basic mode'' option. The options are acceleration/degradation/general options...

I tried to export the same drawing from a PC using DWG to PDF.pc3 and it works fine. Maybe the problem is with the plotter on Mac?(There is no DWG to PDF.pc3 on Mac, isn't it?)

Thank you,

Hi @Anonymous 

Yes, there is such defect (bug) in AutoCAD 2016 for Mac.

Please try this workaround:

BTW, since 2019 version AutoCAD for Mac uses the same PDF engine as AutoCAD for Windows and there is no such issue in AutoCAD 2019, 2020 and 2021.
