Hi there,
I am a landscape architect and my current workflow for projects is to draft in AutoCAD then export to a PDF to open in Illustrator to finish.
For some reason AutoCAD is plotting lines that are showing as hatches in Illustrator; meaning I have no control over the line style once exported from AutoCAD. I've tried setting the layer style of the lines to '0.00' and turned off 'plot object lineweights'. What I need AutoCAD to do is plot a simple vector line that I have drawn, not countless filled hatches.
Fig 1. Lines show up in illustrator as hatches.
Fig 2. Print settings used.
Can anyone offer some advice? The line type is a 'polyline' if that makes any difference. To say this program is frustrating is an understatement.
Cheers
