I have a pattern I'm working on in the latest version (I downloaded the update over the weekend) with 3 different colors of Mill Hill beads. When I print the pattern, the beads are there, but there are no symbols in the bead so you can't tell which color to use. I've changed the bead size on Pattern Properties/Display and still no symbol in the beads.

Is there a setting I'm missing?

When you print the pattern, what choice do you make for "Print Stitches As"? In the mini-testcase I ran, it looks like either "Symbols" or "Symbols over color" is what you want.

I was using Symbols for Print Stitches As. I tried Symbols over Color and the beads show in the correct color but there are no symbols.

I tried a test case with a new design with just beads and the symbols display just fine. But not on my first pattern. On the new pattern the Bead Object Sizing on Pattern Propeties/Display is the default of 75/15. On the old pattern I did change it and had it up to 99/99. When I try to change it back to 75/15 it automatically changes to 75/50. Did I mess it up by changing the default?

Any ideas?

I "fixed" the problem by copying and pasting my design into a new pattern.

That caused the bead properties to reset back to the defaults.

Now at least the bead prints with symbols.
