I have some hatched areas in my template for a map book. It prints fine from the dwg file but when I create a block and put it in the layout and save it as a template. The hatch does not print when I plot the map book.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to create logo's as blocks to insert into title blocks efficiently. I made the outline of the first logo and hatched it as a solid hoping it would print as a flat black but it is showing up as streaky, almost as if I used a different hatch at an extremely small scale. I don't think it is a printer issue because even when printed to .pdf format it still shows up as streaky.
View 1 Replies View Related I need to turn this book of files into a pdf for Createspace and the print book dialog in the book panel doesn’t show me the pdf/x-1a 2001 preset. It gives me a default or I can create one myself. The printer selected is Adobe PDF. The file menu only applies to the active, single document, not a book, and while it does list Adobe PDF Presets I cannot apply them to the whole book, only the active, single file.
I found that I can save the preset I need out of the presets dialog but I can’t load it into the print presets to use for outputting the book as a pdf.
My installation was just updated, but still doesn’t show what some videos show should be there.
I copied all the settings from the preset I need but the print dialog doesn't let me create such a preset for a book, and the Export to PDF for a book is for interactive pdf and doesn't allow such presets at all.
I have a 156 page book with graphics, composed of 8 chapter files. If I have to combine all these into one id file to do this, is there a good way to do that without enormous labor? In that other book I created for createspace I didn't have to do that, but I can't figure out how I exported it to pdf/x 1a 2001
We frequently publish drawings to PDF files. However, we recently noticed that when we publish to the PDF file in monochrome, all hatching publishes in color.
We need the entire PDF in black and white, but I can't figure out what settings I'm missing.
how we can get hatch to not bleed through other solid hatch when we print?
We manually create sketch hatch (not through Section Views) that has a pattern. We then want to place sketched symbols on top of the hatch. Because the hatch is sketched hatch we can't use clipping. We have built into the symbols a solid white fill hatch to simulate the Wipeout in AutoCAD.
Everything looks good in Inventor, but when we print or export to PDF/DWF the patterned hatch bleeds through the solid hatch. The following pictures show how it looks in Inventor.
Recently upgrade to ACad 2012 from 2002 and have a Designjet 500 at my office and am having trougble with a dot hatch in .plt files being sent to my printshop.At my office, I'm using a Designjet.pc3 file for both the 2002 and 2012 dwg files and they plot identically, no problem.
In creating a .plt file using a 750c.pc3 file for both 2002 and 2012 files for my printshop, the plt file for 2002 plots fine but the plt file for 2012 omits the dot hatch. Other hatches on both drawing plot fine. In print preview in both ACads both files show the dot hatch. I'm using ABviewer to check the hatch problem so I don't have to keep bothering my printshop about this. With the 2002 plt file it looks fine but in the 2012 plt file the dot hatch is missing. ABviewer shows results consistant w/ my printshop.
Am using identical pc3 files and identical CTB files. This problem goes across all my drawings....all hatches work between 02 and 12 except the dot hatch. All drawings were qsaved into 2012 from 2002 when I ungraded cads.
I have created a new 750c.pc3 file and the problem is found in that as well.Attached are just small samples of the problem showing 2002 and 2012 examples.I can only believe I am missing a setting somewhere in 2012 or there is a problem between 2012 and the 750c print driver.
I have a Hatch in my drawing with Pattern as Solid on the top of an image. I made it transparent and it looks really nice in my screen, but as soon as I print either in PDF or hard copy the transparency feature disappear. How is possible to print my Hatch -with Solid as Pattern- with the transparency active either in PDF and hard copy?

View 1 Replies View RelatedBecause of the problems with wipeouts, I have switched to using some solid hatch set to colour 255. The hatch is in paperspace, sitting under titleblock and other Layout text. I am plotting to an HP1050C, using a .ctb file with 255 set with grayscale off.
The plot preview is fine, but the hatch blocks come out black on paper. I thought this was the problem with wipeouts, and that hatch didn't suffer from it.
How do I go about ordering a photo book from any of the on line services when the program will only save my created book in the pse file format and none of the services recognize that format. I have tried several services and can't fine one that will allow me to upload my files in the proper way. The services don't allow me the creativity that I bought the PSElements for. Since losing Kodak I am stuck. Will Elements 11 solve this problem? I would rather not have to relearn the whole program again at this time.

I try to plot to dwf and after plot to pdf use a third part plot pdf like pdf995, arcplot, and others, but the problem its the same.
I use autocad 2012 but the problem it´s the same if I change to 2013 or 2014.
I am in the process of making a photobook using Lightroom and discovered when I reached page 240 that I couldn't add any additional pages, much to my surprise. I was surprised because I knew from Blurb's website that the limit for standard paper is 440 pages and mistakenly assumed that this limit would also apply within Lightroom. I did more research online and found many others being surprised by this limitation after spending hours and days on a photo book. I will likely work around this by exporting from Lightroom to .jpg and uploading to Blurb, but that will take extra time and effort and reduces the appeal of using Lightroom to create a Blurb book. I had also tried exporting from Lightroom to .pdf only to find that the .pdf format exported by Lightroom is not compatible with the requirements of Blurb.

I am trying to up load a 40 page 12" x 12" photo book to Blurb from the book module in Lightroom 4.2. It renders the pages and then having rendered the cover gets stuck, about 50% to 60% through the process. None of the photographs are starred or colour coded. I have uploaded successfully from this iMac in the last few weeks.

The point variables pt1, pt2....pt8 are all defined. But when I run the code the hatch is not being created? Why?
I have a hatch (ANSI31) enclosed by a closed polyline. Whenever I change the hatch from ANSI31 to GRAVEL some of the hatch shows up outside the boundary. The Polyline consists of both arcs and line segments, and the hatching errors are occurring within the radius of the arc segments. Changing it from Associative to Non Associative makes no change.
I am using AutoCAD 2011.
I am in need of a lisp routine which will automatically pick up all hatch and solid hatch patterns within a drawing and change the colour to colour 254.

Also, I'm trying to delete certain HatchLoop that is associated to a polyline but I don't know how to do it. I'm going through the loops in the hatch but I don't know what to do there. I wanna do this so I create a new and different hatch on top.
I think one could also copy all the loops except the one one wants to delete, but I'm not sure how to tell which one is the one I want to delete that is the one associated to a polyline or that is in certain region.
I purchased Lightroom 5 and am creating a photo book through Blurb. I accidently erased 38 pages, so after I re-created them, I clicked on Create Saved Book, which put it in Collections. Now I am trying to work on the book again, and can open it, but when I go to the Library of photos, Lightroom automatically repopulates a new book with all the photos in that file and won't let me put them in the book I saved. How can I get this partially finished book so that I can use it?

I have also added the Hotfix for the Ribbon and it made no difference.
I've migrated from 2005 to 2014 LT and wondered if they have added to the hatch commands. I've looked and haven't found anything. Is there a command that you can pick a hatch pattern already shown on the drawing and make that pattern the existing one to use? I sometimes have multiple hatch patterns and scales, and wanted a quick way to go from one to another without lisp help.
