Hello,all - I have a weird problem which didn't manifest itself in previous versions: when I fill patterns (doesn't matter what colour, what pattern, or what density) and then I print to PDF on my desktop Mac, the file produced has a very pronounced square pattern overplayed onto the pattern areas. It's so bad that in most cases, the pattern itself cannot be discerned because of this cross-hatch of squares.
Mac OSX 10.10.2 Yosemite
Vectorworks 2014 SP5
32GB RAM, 2GB VRAM
Problem manifests itself both under OS X 10.10 Yosemite as well as under OS X 10.8.5 and it has the exact same issue whether it's produced on an iMac 27" or on a MacBook Pro. It also doesn't matter whether the file only has 2 shapes with a pattern, or whether the file is a 65MB monster with 32 layers and 114 classes.
Anyone know what the issue is caused by?
I tried both options of "print patterns at screen resolution" and neither makes any difference.
