Printing in a mosaic

Printing in a mosaic

Printing in a mosaic

(OP)
First
I need to print 6 parts at 1:1 scale on 8.5 X 11 sheet so they can be used as templates for tracing the parts out (woodworking).

Second
These parts are bigger than an 8.5 X 11 sheet of paper.  So some sort of a mosaic will have to be done.  With each sheet contaning a section of the part and then the sheets will be tapped together to form 1 sheet with the part at full scale. I hope I explained that ok.

Is this possible with SW?  If so how does one do this?  Utimatly I need the sheets saved as .pdf's.  

I'm sure this is not the easiest way to do it but it's how the customer wants it done.

Thanks

RE: Printing in a mosaic

Grunt,

I would place items in a drawing format that will allow a 1:1.  Then I would use Bluebeam to create a PDF at 1:1.  Then if you have a full blown version of Adobe you should be able to print in four quads.  I remember doing this once while using Pro/e their print utility Pro/Plot had an option to do this.  best of luck
