AutoCAD printing question!

[Gaz1988]

Hello all,

Looking to print a drawing A2 sized using A4 paper (sticking them all together sorta thing, kinda like a rasterbate!) does anyone know if this is possible?

Yes!

When printing, you should tile 8 A4 pieces of paper to make A2. Also, if your printer cannot bleed to the edge, just trim the boarders and use spray mount (not pritt stick!)

Not sure you are going to be able to do this in autoCAD, your best bet is setting up 4xA4 on individual layouts then printing and piecing together as best you can. if you have access 2xA3 would be easier!

it will look rubbish, don't you have access to a plotter??

best bet is to set up a layer called print borders
in layer management, insure it set as a non-printable lay
get the construction line out
offset around so you have a series of overlapping a4 pages
print them off

now that would be a pain in the ass to do A0
