i would suggest making it to fit the 8 x 10 paper then enlarge it into different sectioins using Rapid Resizer. there is a free trial version   http://rapidresizer.com/

Depending on the size, I usually put dashed lines in the pattern and then print as many sections as I need. Tape together matching the dotted lines and cut away the excess paper.

I use the program "Paint" to enlarge patterns to larger than 8.5X11.  Pretty simple that way.

When you go to print, go into the propertise (sp) menu and you will find you can change your 8x10 to a poster sizes.

This page did not come up like I had hope so here is what I thought might help you, but the page gets you to the help support, lol

 Laying out print jobs

You can lay out a print job by specifying the size, position, and scale. Tiling a print job prints portions of each page on separate sheets of paper that you can assemble into one sheet. You would, for example, tile a print job that is larger than your printer paper.
To specify the size and position of a print job    Back to Top
1
   
 
   
Click File Print.
2
   
 
   
Click the Layout tab.
3
   
 
   
In the Image position and size area, enable one of the following options:
   
?
      
As in document ? maintains the image size as it is in the document
   
?
      
Fit to page ? sizes and positions the print job to fit to a printed page
   
?
      
Reposition images to ? lets you reposition the print job by choosing a position from the list box
Enabling the Reposition images to option lets you specify size, position, and scale in the corresponding boxes.
You can also choose an imposition layout, such as 2 X 2 (4-up) or 2 X 3 (6-up), from the Imposition layout list box. For more information, see Working with imposition layouts.

% of page width ? lets you specify the percentage of the page width the tiles will occupy
You can include tiling alignment marks by enabling the Tiling marks check box.

Poppa Rob, I'll be interested in what you find and do as I have Draw6 but have not used it as of yet,

I used the tile print feature one time and it did not work as I wanted. Come to find out, ( as usual) it was operator error.  Havent tried again because I haven't needed it.  When  I do I will post results
