Tiling drawing on small paper

[David46]

If any body here has used AutoSketch, you will know that you can print sections of a 1:1 drawing on separate sheets of 8 x 11 paper with cut lines. These can then be joined together to make a full size drawing without the benefit of a plotter. I have used this to make templates for woodwork projects. Does SW05 have this feature or is there another way of achieving the same result.

I use SW to design custom furniture.

Thanks.

The only way I can think of, is create a dwg at 1/1, save as DXF, then open with DWGEditor. I think you can do this there. I have not tried it. Good luck.

When printing, use the "selection" method from the Print Range in the printing options. This will allow you to print 1:1 for any desired selection. You may have to develop some sort of index method though.
