    I would like to plot my full size drawings 1"=1" to a 11" x 17" sheet. My page is set up to print full size to a 24" x 36" sheet.
    I thought if i just scaled to fit drawing it would print ok. However it doesn't fit all on the 11" x 17" sheet. What do I have to do? Change limits? If so what to? or???

    Thanks for any help!

    Could you perhaps define another setup for 11 x 17? More certain than trying to scale. Or "scaled to fit" option also works in plotter setup.

    Be aware that drawings prepared assuming it will be plotted on 24 x 36 will not quite fill the the 17 inch length because dividing 11 by 24 results in a scale factor of .458 which when multiplied by 36 gives a plotted length of 16.5 inches.

    We usually select a 12"x18" paper size when we want a scaled 11"x17" drawing, simply because it doesn't fit otherwise. It does require a little trimming afterwards, but you get what you're looking for.
