Is there a way to print drawings in a tile format?

Is there a way to print drawings in a tile format?

(OP)
I have been designing a project where I need to print out a 1:1 copy of a metalworking project. This is so I can construct a jig because it is a pretty complicated lattice structure. The thing is that I don't have access to more than a standard 8.5"x11" printer and even if I did, the computer I would be using would not have SolidWorks on it. Is there a way that I can print my 1:1 drawing on standard office paper in a tile format i.e. multiple sheets of paper to make the full size image?

RE: Is there a way to print drawings in a tile format?

Another option would be to save as PDF or TIF, put it on a flash drive, and take it to Kinko's or somewhere like that for printing.
