Plot pdf with filled shape not horizontal hatched(lining in shape fill)

Vikas Dabas

1. Showing Top layer etch.                                                                                          2. Plot output pdf file.

Can you help me printing the shape as filled solid black rather than lining,

I've tried filling color with black in top etch( changed the color of top to black) But still the result is same.

Please help me with that. I am printing it for single side printing, Drill hole open issue solved before 1 month,

But it is still there....

Thanks

    When you print increase the Print Quality to the largest dpi setting. This should give you a solid copper fill

    Open Orcad PCB Editor > Setup > User Preferences > Display > Shape File 

    Set the display_shapefill value to 0, refer the below image.
