ErichR Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 In VW 10, Patterns appear in reverse (negative) form from the way they appear on screen. This is true whether or not the 'Print at on-screen resolution' is selected. If I switch the background and foreground colors, then the screen appearance is negative. Is this a bug? Thanks to anyone who can answer this. Quote Link to comment
Benson Shaw Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Do you mean VW 10, or VW2010? I never saw this. Are you in black background mode? That reverses some things. You say you see negative even if you switch foreground and background colors? Weird! Some things to try" 1. Open a new blank file, create some a new object with pattern. If new file OK, duplicate the problem file and open the dupe. Copy and paste objects or groups of objects from the dupe file into the new file until you find a corrupt one which will cause the problem in the new file. 2. Quit and relaunch VW and try the problem file. 3. Reboot your system, relaunch VW and try the problem file. 4. Check your class definitions. Maybe one uses the negative foreground/background "at creation'. -B Quote Link to comment
ErichR Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 It appears that it's a printer driver issue. It prints correctly to a PDF, and to a different printer. HP no longer supports the LaserJet 4MV with an OSX10.6 driver. The printer is more than 10 years old. It's curious that the problem seems to be limited to the VW Pattern foreground/background colors.

StaticDOS Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I have pretty much the same problem but my patterns dont print at all but export to PDF fine. Quote Link to comment
Drewinatl Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Did you ever resolve how to print patterns. When I print all the pattern print as different shades of Grey. thanks Quote Link to comment
Benson Shaw Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 In the print dialog, did you check the Print patterns at on-screen resolution? -B Quote Link to comment
