How to not lose clipped patterns when saving to DWG
There has been a but in Microstation for a while which loses the patterns of shapes that fall accross the clip line of a DGN when saved to DWG. With v8i this is no longer a problem as long as you follow these simple guidelines:
1. Make sure the patterns are associative
2. Make sure the DWG settings are set to Merge to Cell (and not just Merge)
When save as or export is used, the shapes should be recreated as a new shape of shape with the hatch pattern intact.
