Thanks for all of your help. I dont think i can do that, since i edited some of his lines etc.. It will be too dofficult for me to tell what is a .dwg and what isnt...

I think I've learned my lesson.. In the furture, how should I save it from visio to .dwg in order for it to work perfectly as a .dwg?

You could try to WBLOCK the non-DWG part, OPEN and SAVE it in a separate session, then reINSERT it back - but whether it helps..., this depends on the specific problem present in the "forged" DWG file.]]> Wed, 28 Nov 2007 16:39:08 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=291&PID=679&title=hatch-not-working#679 <![CDATA[Hatch not working. : Iunderstand, but I got the drawing...]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=291&PID=678&title=hatch-not-working#678 Author: LoraD

Iunderstand, but I got the drawing from a client, who did a basic mock up of the space and layout he'd prefer. I worked on the drawing & detailed it immensley. He isn't from here...
 
Is there anyway of my correcting the .dwg format which doesnt involve re-saving from Visio? Can I copy & paste into a new .dwg or anything like that?

So this this probably the source of the problem. I am sure Visio has also other ways of saving/copying the data to AutoCAD (Clipboard copy/paste, WMF, DXF...).]]> Wed, 28 Nov 2007 15:02:41 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=291&PID=677&title=hatch-not-working#677 <![CDATA[Hatch not working. : The guy I got the drawing from...]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=291&PID=676&title=hatch-not-working#676 Author: LoraD

The guy I got the drawing from just did a "save as" .dwg file.

It is the first time I have ever used a drawing from visio, so not sure what to expect...What route should I take from here then?

Copy the drawing into a new .dwg file (and loose the million tabs i have set up..) lol?

What method have you used for importing the Visio data? Please note that DWG files created by non-Autodesk applications are not genuine DWG files (the extension is DWG but their internal format is not 100% DWG) and such drawings sometimes behave very oddly.
 
Try another exchange format.

Hey Everyone,
 
I am really hoping somoene can help me.
 
I imported a drawing from Microsoft Visio into my Architectural Desktop 2006 drawing. I did have to scale it up by 12 in order to get it to the right scale.
 
I have been working in it for quite some time, and am unable to get the hatch command to work. I have checked that the layer is on, etc. I even tried drawing in Layer 0 just incase it was a probalem with my layers, but to no avail. 
I tried hatching through model space tab, and through a paper space viewport. I have tried changing the LTS and the scale, but it still is not hatching. I then tried to hatch solid, cuz that normally works no matter what the LTS or scale is.. But still nothing...
 
Any idea why this may be?
