In the attached 3dm file, export all the objects to a DWG using the “2004 natural” option. Re-open in Rhino and look at the small black hatches (circle fills), they should be fine, nice and round.
Now, export again, but in the export options UNCHECK the curve tesselation parameters before exporting. Now open the new export file in Rhino and examine the circular hatches. They are very badly faceted… The circles that made the hatches are still fine. IMO this should not be happening…
Hello,
I know that this post is old, but is there a solution to resolve this issue while exporting hatch? <
I have the exact same problem with circular and smooth curvy hatch contours in Rhino 6. They all get messy and polygonal after the export.
I don’t see any resolution in the above cited bug report, it appears to be still marked as ‘future’. So maybe this just got forgotten. I guess the workaround is to make sure the curve tessellation parameters are checked.
RH-21803 is still open. From the original report by Mitch, it looks like that the factory-default 2004 natural export scheme worked fine. Did you try that?

I just checked in both V6 and V7 2007 Natural without the tessellation parameters being checked - and the problem is indeed still there. So no, it has not been fixed yet.
Hey Mitch - I wasn’t saying that it had been fixed. I made that item visible to the public and reported that it was still open. I didn’t check any of this but from your original post…
… I inferred that the default “2004 natural” option correctly exported the hatches. I might be reading that wrongly…
At any rate, there even isn’t a “2004 natural” option in either Rhino 6 or 7 so I probably shouldn’t have suggested trying that.

The main takeaway is that unchecking the tessellation parameters checkbox causes this, whether it be DWG 2004 from V5 or 2007 from V6 or V7. The default 'Natural" flavor has this box checked, that’s why the problem doesn’t happen. You have to modify the default setting to see the problem.
Yep, couldn’t find any solution. Even the problem does not appear a lot on the internet.
My only workaround was - as Mitch is saying - to use the curve tesselation parameters at the export. But doing this, the spline/curvy hatch contour are changed to polylines.
There is really no way to keep them as they are on the rhino file?
