Scaling drawings

(OP)
When I develop a pattern for laser cutting full scale. Im just wondering if it's possible to scale the drawing to fit on paper to a4 paper for printing without scaling each layout individual.

RE: Scaling drawings

All the views are/can be driven by the sheet scale. Just changing the sheet scale should update all views. Right-click on sheet and chose Properties. Sheet scale is in the upper left of the dialog. If this does not update the drawing views, select all drawing views at once (per sheet) and then in their PropertyManager, change the scale to match sheet.
