Hello...
I'm wondering if anyone knows the correct way to import DXF/DWG files into Visio which have solid hatch patterns? I can get line based hatch patterns to come in just fine when they're exploded into individual lines. But, when I try to bring in solid hatch patterns...they seem to disappear when I convert the entity into a visio shape. I could live with the individual lines...but they seem to take up a wicked amount of memory...and my file is getting huge. Thanks for the help...
:'(
ok...
I may have solved my own problem. Everything was actually importing and converting just fine. However, the hatch pattern was coming in white! So, it looked like it was just disappearing. I tried it again with blue...and it was easier to work with. (I was then able to change the fill color just fine in Visio).
;D
Hi Andy,
I registered in this site just to thank you!
You solved my problem.
The steps I used:
1-Close all contours with JOIN in Autocad
2-Create fillable shapes with REGION in Autocad
3-Fill these regions with HATCH using SOLID color other than white
4-Save as 2007 DWG
