Importing Cross hatch into a drawing

[jackley]

Anyone been able to get this to work?

In our title block, we have the name of the company cross hatched. But when you import it, it removes the cross hatch.
Just wonder if there is a way around this, or it is just one of those things that does not come through onto the drawing.

This got me to wondering since our company logo is also cross-hatched. Upon further inspection of our title block the cross-hatching has been exploded (to borrow an AutoCAD term) into individual lines. I think the way this was originally done was - the logo was done in its own file and crosshatched then exported as a cgm and the cgm was imported into the title block.

I couldn't find a direct way to 'explode' the crosshatching, but I only poked about for a few minutes. Maybe someone else has an easier way.

Cowski,
This is very similar to the method I'm familar with, except that the cgm lines of the hatch are brought into a seperate part file, and then the pattern data saved is used in our drawings.

CAD should pay for itself, shouldn't it?
