Export GIS to CAD with a Fill

Question

Is there any way to export my GIS polygon layer to CAD with a color fill?  I can only get it to export as a polyline boundary.

I am using a seed file for my symbols now but was just hoping there was a way to get a fill.  so I will continue to use the seed file I guess!  Thanks!

Hi Nina,

Sorry, it is not possible to export GIS Polygon layer to CAD with a color fill. Alternatively, you can have the boundaries in different colors.

If you just add a field to the polygon layer called "Color" and then use Export to CAD, you will get polygons but with desired boundary colors. Some standard AutoCAD color numbers are as follows: 
1 = Red 
2 = Yellow 
3 = Green 
4 = Cyan 
5 = Blue 
6 = Magenta 
7 = White
