I want one of those 500 ton reliants!! I tried to print one one my computer...its to big for my printer and when i shrink it i cant read the print and even then part of the right side is cut off,, sob, sob, sob, what can i do, help, help!!

I usually create an A4 sized image at the right resolution and then paste the plan in. I then shift the image around printing it in sections that overlap. Once printed, I trim them down getting rid of any white borders and then, carefully lining the pages up, glue them together.

Brook and I have realised that this can be a problem and we are trying to come up with a solution.

If you can turn the files into PDFs, Acrobat Reader will let you scale a printout to fit whatever paper you have handy.

Tom, can you do tiled output from Acrobat? I looked at Acrobat Reader's print functions and did not see a way.

You can from the full Acrobat, by selecting the Advanced option ont he Print menu. At the top of the Print Settings box that opens, there's a tiled output option that is accessible if you have an oversized document.

Unfortunatly, I don't have Reader installed on this computer, so I don't know if that option is there in the stripped version.

I just checked, nope there are no advanced options in the reader's print menus.
