Material Problem

Red — Tue, 22 Mar 2005 16:25:16 GMT

I've been trying for sometime now to setup a material with a fill for vectorial hatching. The problem I'm having is that everytime I set the fill and return to the material settings it changes the material back to no fill at all.

The library is not write protected and we are able to do this on another project w/ the same library (same display options) w/o a problem. Is there a small setting that I'm missing somewhere?

Ah Red,
I have also had this problem. It has been reported to GS. The work around at the moment is that you duplicate your material, then re-apply the hatch.

It's a real pain, I had over 200 materials that I had to redo.

Sorry for the bad news.
Cheers.

Thanks for the help. At least in know its not just me.

BTW it wasn't working on the other computer. He was using a different material, but when he tried the same material as I was he also had the same results. So right now it is certain material that does that to us.

Red,
That sounds very interesting. If you have the time it would be really good if you could report it to you local reseller so that they can then report it to GS.
If there are more of us that report problems the quicker they get fixed.

Cheers.
