Dharma, I have had no luck with this either. Hatching the pads in AutoCad is an option but not one we decided to use. If you are generating this data for a customer review then you could create your Gerber view using a PDF output instead of DXF. Otherwise the only solution I can think of is modifying the data in AutoCad or some other MCAD tool.

Everything we have tried, the pads come out "hollow" but what we need is for the pads to come out solid, like we see in the actual gerbers. Does anyone have any ideas? Or can you at last point us in the right direction?
