Printing in a mosaic

[grunt58]

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

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

what Heckler said...

plus... sketch some crop line on the drawing so you can match up the edges
