Transparent Hatch not Printing as Transparent

[Bobzy20]

Hi I have created a hatch with a Transparency of 30% so I can see what's underneath.

 

All looks good in Model Space but when I do a print preview from Paper Space the hatch appears to be completely solid in colour again and has no transparency.

 

Anybody got any ideas?

 

Thanks

Yes when you print under plot options there is a tick box for 'plot transparency' check this and you will be ok.

Wow that was easy, thanks very much. 10/10

No problem, watch out for the file size when ploting to PDF and make sure you uncheck it when you aren't plotting transparency as it messes with your other linetypes.

Thanks again for that. It seems 2012 always un-ticks the box anyway after you print which is a nice touch.

Hi,

 

I have created hatch with some transparency..eaither i tick box in the plotting options "plot transparency", as a printing output i get nothing on the transparency hatch postions. Solid hatch gets out fine. I have HP plotter and using CAD 2021.
