Weird diagonal lines in transparent objects

Anonymous

Hi everybody. 

 

I am experiencing an identical "weird diagonal lines issue in transparent hatch" as described in below Mac post and solved by Maxin for mac-users. I am using Autocad 2016 in Windows-10 64bt. The difference is that the (mac issue?) solution did not resolve my issue.

I tried Maxim's workaround, eg. setting the gradient hatch to fill with 2-identical colors, in conceptual visual style the diagonal lines are still shown (in model and layout space) and printing inside the 3d transparent objects. The blue component of the pallet is on its own layer with a 70% transparency. The rest of the components are on another layer with its own 70% transparency (see screen dump). When printed, the result is identical. I have tried printing with "Nitro pro" as well as directly with the other options such as "Microsoft to pdf" or "dwg to pdf" print options (yes, with transparency box ticked :).

All the pallet-components in the enclosed example drawing is part of an Xref object (that should not be the cause of this issue, right?). I am attaching a few screen dumps of the pallet in various screens and with the various settings. Perhaps anybody sees something out of the ordinary? What am I missing?

 

Thanks!

Hi,

would you try :

  • make sure that your AutoCAD is up to date . 
  • Disable hardware acceleration from GRAPHICSCONFIG command.
