Hatch goes missing when saving in dwg.

Hatch goes missing when saving in dwg.

Hatch goes missing when saving in dwg.

(OP)
When I open an autocad drawing that I created by saving a solidworks drawing, I notice that all of the hatch patterns that are not ANSI are missing.  What I mean by this is my company created our own set of hatch patterns for the materials we use and added them to the existing library with the ANSI patterns.  When I bring up the autocad drawing, all of the patterns that we created are not there, even though they were there when I saved it in solidworks.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

RE: Hatch goes missing when saving in dwg.

I'm not clear. You opened an ACAD dwg in SolidWorks, then saved back into ACAD?

I created a drawing in solidworks.  Then I saved it as a .dwg.  When I pull it up in autocad (the dwg) the hatch patterns that are not ANSI standard are not there.
