Select the DWG to PDF writer, when selecting your printer/plotter. The fix to the solid hatch problem is quite easy. Therefore PDF files that aren’t perfect are not acceptable for my requirements. However, most of the time I need to deliver to my clients PDF files. It is true that when PDF format drawings with the solid hatch problem are printed, that the inconsistency in the solid areas do not appear in the printouts. In discussing and reading about this problem I’ve heard it mentioned that this problem isn’t really a problem if the drawings merely need to be printed. While using AutoCAD 2007 I’ve found that when I print an AutoCAD drawing file using a third party print driver, or the Adobe print driver, that’s when I get the solid hatch problem.

360: One of the first things I ever made from a 3D printer was a gear. I’ve still been using 2007 instead of 2012, just because I’m a typical creature of habit. Problem Importing DXF files created in AutoCad LT If this is your first visit. I complete most of my projects with AutoCAD 2007. When I print from UNIX to a Canon device, and the print job are about 1500 duplex pages, normally at the end of the print job apear some PS error’s in some pages, but the print sequence continue normally after that. I run AutoCAD 2007 and AutoCAD LT 2012 in my drafting service business. If the correct printer/plotter is not specified in the page setup for plotting, then solid hatching, or other parts of the drawing, could appear not solid in the PDF.
