Niblick Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 We have designed a golf course on an island. I have traced the island from a dxf file so that I now have a closed polyline. It is filled with a colour and looks great on the screen but as soon as I print to the plotter or send it to Distiller the fill breaks up so that the fill only works acroos half the island. I have tried to simplify the shape of the island but to avail. Anyone have any ideas what I could be doing? Cheers, Brian Phillips Golf Course Architect Quote Link to comment
islandmon Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 In my experience FillPat requires a Postscript Printer otherwise it will default to a solid. Therefore a hatch is the best option. Also sometimes you can see a filled 2d poly on screen but in will not render becuase it is not 'closed'. Select the object then look at the PIO and make sure the "closed" box at the bttom is checked. This will close a 2d poly and solve the fill issues. Quote Link to comment
