    I was going to ask in alt.cad but there's so much garbage there......
    I have plans (66"x 36" ) that I want to increase by 2:1 and get a print. It
    would be OK in 4 sheets.
    Can anyone tell me if this can be done, and if so how and where?
    TIA

    If you're correctly set up to plot the 66x36 sheets at a 1:1 plot scale, the
    following should work:

    Plot 1/4 of the sheet using the window option, at a plot scale of 2:1.
    Repeat for the other three quarter-sheet sections.

    Sorry, I didn't explain properly. I don't have and form of cad originals,
    only the 66x36 print on paper. At the very least, they would have to be
    scanned into a cad system...

  4. Scanned, yes, cad system? Not required. Tell your printer what you want and
    let them do it. When you do, be careful with your language as yours could be
    interpreted in to inverse ways.

    Sorted, I found a printer company that can scan 850 mm wide, enlarge/split
    and print on continuous paper 840mm wide.
