One drawing on several pages

[MartinAir]

Hi!

How can I scale up a design I have made and spread it over two or more pages in Autocad 2005? I guess it is on the layout tab.

I want it to print like those building drawings that is part1 and part2 and so on. The intersecntion of the two papers are shaded.

Regards

One way in which you can is to just work from model space. Put all the items you want to print on one paper together while still in model space and then plot from that. In this method the plot "window" command can be quite usefull.

If you want to just tile the printout, you can use DWF - see:

I have plotted a drawing in 4 parts by doubling/halfing the scale and plotting to mid points of the title block... works well...

If part1 and part2 represent two sections of a building, instead of shading the intersection, you should use a a thick phanton line about .025" thick and label it "match line".

Not title block, but drawing border... sorry for the confusion.

I believe the poster is refering to match lines.

You can put a split down your drawing lets say right in the middle.

Then using paper space each viewport would have a side that resides on that match line.

This would be be the best method.
