I am not a professional user, in fact my field of interest has almost nothing to do with architectural design. However my current project requirems me to make a 2d darft of a 1:1 scale. The design is 40 cm long which is longer than any of the page sizes available for printing (which is called ploting apparantly in this program). And I don t know how to print it on to pages all that comes up is just one page that s not big enough. Can you please tell me how to either increase my page length to 40 cm (about 1.5X regular size) or print some on one page and sone on the other. Thank you.

You can do a couple of things - one you can scale the titleblock up so that whatever it is that you're trying to print can fit inside it. The other thing you can do is draw a reference line and print it into two parts - if you need more detail then this please e-mail me at crystal@crystalrae.com and I will explain it in more detail.

As crystalrae stated you can draw some reference lines at your length of page apart. Create a new layer with "noprint" enabled. Change the layer of these line to your noprint layer. Print portion by portion with reference to these lines. Providing a little overlap will work better. You can latter trim this overlap for seamless joint.

what sunnyshine says is true or what you can do if you have a large format printer ie a hp design Jet then you can set a custome size in order to print it out also if you take your drawing file down to your local printing shop or kinkos they should be able to help you one way or another
