My imported autocad 2000 .dwg file doesn’t fill like I hoped it would. For instance I have a logo with an outline (like a coin with its edge outlined) with other objects inside it that make up the pattern. I use ungroup all to start. I begin the fills by closing the lines and filling them with black for the inside darkened objects by right clicking and using object properties. I move on to the inner edge of the coin and fill it with white so I can fill the outer with black. When filling the outer elements some of the inside ones disappear, not all just some. These seem to hide under the new fills either white or black, I cant even see the vector outline anymore until I move the larger top object. Now I have some experience with autocad and minimal with coreldraw11. All I want to do is create a black and white vector logo (I think some call this clipart) so I can scale it to what I need to use it on.
Imported file details
Autocad 2000 .dwg file. Created by importing a raster image in the base layer, creating another layer to trace on and after finishing I would copy my line drawing and paste it into a new 1 layer file (to eliminate the possibility of my problem being layers from autocad). I have also tried to hatch in my logo with much success in autocad but that file looses its solid hatch fill when it transfers to draw11.
End use
Epilog laser etcher (that’s why I am making black and white... etch/no etch) The items I etch are not for commercial gain, its to save our flight some $ and give out nicer awards by doing the items ourselves. We have these machines to etch our tools and I want to use them to the fullest. Draw is set up to print to our etcher and does so quiet nicely... I am doing things this way because the pixilation becomes very pronounced when enlarging a raster image (even on a very small scale)
I expect questions; I have done research till blue in the face... I just can’t figure this out. Heck link me to the info and I will gladly read it.
Thanks in advance for the help
