how is plotmaker displaying the fills? bitmap or vector?

go to Options>Display Options and at the bottom ensure that the fills setting is to "Keep Original Settings". that way you should get what you see in archiCAD . . .

i do recall an issue with 8.0 and plotmaker fills. think it may have been discussed here somewhere too.

UPGRADE!!! you won't regret it.
