tiling and or printing

I think we're OK but when the pic is 44 wide, it is not 33 high, so I made two, one 44 wide and one 33 high.Let me know if it works. The borders are set on layer 'paper' and are set not to print. They represent the 8.5 x 11 papers.

thats right it has to be like that becuse of the dimensios so your right!!! Kool..

let me check the file BRB

ok if the square in the middle represents my jets then the printer ( and it has to print , thats the whole idea) will use 28 pages, am i right...

i found another way to help us fix this , give me a few and i ll send to you Email...

the Email is on there Way...Done, this should clearafy a lot...

Auto cad must create 16 equal squares just like the blue ones on the pic i sent you regardless of the width and length of the jet, lol

if we can do that... then we have 80% of the battle won.

that would meen 16 x (8.5 X 11) which is 34X44 when stretch out on the table in a 4x4 configuration

I don't know where you are located, but you are aware that most copy/printing shops can print in a large format? 33x44 is D size (here in the states) it sure would save you a lot of print time and desk time stitching these sheets all together.

You should wind up with a better final product as well.

Used to be a guy over onna web at RC Universe going by name of Fritz who had a tile printing program (software) available but I think it ran on some obsolete printer and some OS. His problem was in that many printers have a built in margin, and taping the portions together then left gaps between sheet edges. I think his solution was someting different.

I use an old fashioned plotter here, so have zero need for such software.

yes i agree but at 15$ a pop i can print 500 pages at home bu pasting them together..

its not hard and im retired, just need a way to slice the CAD file in 16 even parts...

In earlier releases, AutoCAD used primitive entities — such as lines, polylines, circles, arcs, and text — as the foundation for more complex objects. Since the mid-1990s, AutoCAD has supported custom objects through its C++ API. Modern AutoCAD includes a full set of basic solid modeling and 3D tools.

When I need larger prints than my printers can handle, I email the *.dwg to a local drafting supply.

My prints are ready in short order and, more often than not, very inexpensive.

2 ft x 3 ft prints are usually under a couple of bucks, fast, often on the first day.

Where might you be posting from? You could check the Yellow Pages for a local drafting supply.

Wish i had a plotter !!! they sell them online now at Ebay for under 400$ 24inch
