Autocad Solution:
In autocad there is a command "_HATCHGENERATEBOUNDARY", select all hatches and apply this command. This will generate a polyline to all hatches than import/export polyline to polygon.
Regarding to regions.
1.Select all regions and apply explode command.
2.This will convert all regions to line.
3.Than if you have no acadmap apply comand "pedit"-polyline edit and chose multiple.
4.Than chose option "Join".
5.This will convert all lines to polylines.
Type in Autocad mapexport, choose the online option, select the features required and export to SHAPEFILE in QGIS utlize SAGA complement the Process panel for converting line polygon.
