Hi,

I not really an experienced AutoCAD LT user. I don't have access to a plotter, only a normal laser printer for 81/2" x 11" paper format.

I have a drawing which would be better represented on 2 sheets rater than one. My question is : is there a way I could use 2 layout to print my drawing but it would be important that the 2 drawings fit together perfectly. How can I do this? (please be specific)

thanks

You will probably not be able to do what you want exactly. Laser printers do not print to the edge of the paper so you will have a gap between the images. The only way you will probably do what you want is to print with a scaled window and then trim the paper afterwards to make the images "fit" together.
