Printing a "big" drawing on a "small" printer - Poster Printing and Autocad...

[maratovich]

I was a bit suspicious that our friend in Russia has to come up with a separate plug-in to address this very annoying issue....some users are maybe luckier than other and use a printer which is fully recognized by Autocad - mine isn't (apparently).

Have you tried the program I proposed?

Why not use?

If there is a problem - write them.

Does it work for the 8 1/2" x 11" paper? That is the only way I can get mine to work from AutoCad. How about a driver update for the printer. Might work, if there is one available.

 

At least Arthur hasn't done a lot of damage like Sandy did.

 

The poster printing of my Canon is "recognized" by many other programs (in fact all basic software I've tried) except Autocad - so the update shouldn't come from the printer's side.

Let's face it....Autocad is just too precise (****?) for casual jobs involving domestic printers....

I've downloaded but not installed/tried it yet....I don't know much about Autocad 2014 - it is a fresh installation and I'd rather spend a bit more time to learn about it before deciding to use/install a plug-in (or any extra software).

Thanks for your help anyhow.

The original problem was how to avoid extra steps and expense in getting this done, was it not?

Adobe Reader XI has this capability built in. It's literally the only reason I have Adobe Reader still installed. See attached image:
