I can solid fill sketched profile in SW, but I don't see it in AutoCAD. Is it possible to export solid fill profile to AutoCAD too?

I believe you can fill a profile in AutoCad. It's been a long time since I worked on AutoCad, but I believe the command was Autofill. Maybe someone with AutoCad could verify.
 
DHALE1,
The problem is not to do it in AutoCAD, but export solid fill profile from SW to AutoCAD.
 
Check the color! i have seen some solid fill and text get exported out as "Black". It's there you just can't see it.

To fix this from happening in the future, use a color map when exporting your SW drawings out as a ACAD file.

SBaugh,
I tried to do it in different layers and colors, but without any success. I still didn't see solid fill profile in AutoCAD.
And I always use map file when exporting from SW to AutoCAD.
So I have to use hatch on a large scale instead of solid in SW and it's look like solid fill profile in AutoCAD.
