Vectorworks Tip #209 - Attribute palette - Patterns and Printing

There is a check box that you have to choose if you want to print the patterns as they appear on-screen. If you don't choose this option, the patterns will not print the way you want them too. Even when you do choose this option, the sizes of the patterns are a bit hit-and-miss relative to what you see on the screen.
