Plotting C Size on B Size
Plotting C Size on B Size
(OP)
I was wondering if anyone could help me with this.
I have a Deskjet 1120c and use AutoCad and Solidworks.
My printer can only print up to 11 x 17 and when I print C size on it from AutoCad it just plots out two pages. I then just trim a little off the mating edges and viola, a 17 x 22 drawing. I bit of a pain in the ass but cheaper then a plotter (Company won't buy one).
Can anyone tell me if a can do this with Solidworks?
I have been trying and trying but I have had no luck.
I tried creating a PDF and printing out of Adobe but I couldn't get that to work even though I vaguely remember doing something like that before.
Thanks for any input.

Obviously comes out smaller but still very legible. At a previous company we used to print D-size onto B-size & the shop floor loved it. B-size was much easier to manage & store.
