Plotting to multiple 8.5 x 11 Pages
Plotting to multiple 8.5 x 11 Pages
(OP)
Thanks to the help yesterday, I have scaled my drawing, and my Sybex book helped me set up Layouts and make the drawing inside the layouts scale to what I want to print.
Since the print is a site layout traced from an initial scaled topo raster, I could actually output the thing across 9 8.5 x 11 pages to get the real world size I need to paste to cardboard and use it as a scaled pattern. I can RealTime Zoom my Layout and see pieces, but is there a way to make sure if I plot 9 pages to get the size I want accurately divide and register? (Think one of the old CorelDraw programs used to draw a large diagram across multiple pages)...

Initially I was frustrated by a slight difference between the the top two and the bottom two... until I was watching the screen while playing with the mouse. I suddenly realized the mouse wheel was changing the scale, so I taped the wheel, reset the scale, and printed out 4 more pages. This time it worked.
I needed the 1/16" = 1' scale for a concept model topo, and have materials that will make this scale work.
There may be a more sophisticated way to do this, but at least I am cutting cardboard. Dan.
