lovelyjubbly Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Hello - I'm using AD for pattern making for sewing. I create a pattern piece for, say, the front left of a shirt and then duplicate and flip it to create the front right pattern piece. I then export the file as a pdf and use that with my projector to cut out the pattern pieces. The trouble I am having is that sometimes, and only sometimes, a pattern piece will have a black fill applied to it, but only in the pdf version and only in one of the pattern pieces - the other pattern piece will be absolutely fine. It looks fine in AD - no fill on any pattern piece. And I can't figure out why this is happening. Here's a screenshot showing what I mean. Any suggestions? I do need to see the inside of the pattern because it often has markings that I need to transfer to the fabric. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hangman Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Hi @lovelyjubbly, Are you able to upload one of the AD files where you are seeing this issue along with the exported pdf file so we can take a look at what might be happening here...

The relevant artboard in the AD file is the one labelled 110cm Layout 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
