Autocad's dots hatch does not exist in Archicad.

Autocad's dots hatch does not exist in Archicad.
Why is that?
If I want to change it to dots hatch when exporting dwg, how do I do it in Archicad and then how do I change it to dots hatch when exporting dwg?

Because when I use fill in autocad, it only prints black in government offices.

Operating system used: Windows

You can import aCAD hatches into ArchiCAD by opening a DWG/DXF that has them drawn. From there you can export them to your template / files.

I have no idea what a dot hatch looks like in Autocad, but in Archicad you are probably looking for % fills.

0% is an empty fill and 100% is solid.

Anything in between is a varying % of transparency.

1. Is there a reason why there is no dots hatch pattern?
2. We also have transparency.
However, the reason we do not use it is because when we deliver to government offices, they keep saying that it comes only in black, so in our case, we have to convert it to dots, so we process it a lot in advance as dots.

You are using the inbuilt Publisher to produced the documents that you are sending? Some PDF plotters will translate the AC % transparency fills into a pattern of solid lines, which may present solid when viewed at some zooms or printed.
