Hatch patterns in Links from AutoCad 2007

[juliet]

I am working in REVIT 2009 and linking certain details from AutoCad 2007. Sometimes the hatch patterns in the details drawn in AutoCad import properly and sometimes they don't. Looking for a solution to be able to see hatch patterns from AutoCad 2007 in REVIT 2009 consistantly as they were drawn in AutoCad.

I've not been able to figure this out... Sometimes rehatching in Acad works sometimes I doesn't. I tried exploding the hatch once - but I only did this once.

Now, instead of figuring out how to make acad play well with revit; I've been spending time re-drawing details in Revit. << You'll end up with a much cleaner & faster file in the end.

Hi thanks......I did a little more reading and found that it relates to hatch scale. It was suggested that a hatch scale factor in Autocad 2007 of less than 4 will result in a solid black import.....over that number will succeed. It seems to work in my situations. I have redrawn hatches in some details once in Revit.
