Hello mmaurigi, the problem is not so difficult and you say that you elaborate drawings 2 times bigger that you can print.

The company I'm working for is using AutoCAD 2015. The company does not have a plotter that can plot D-Size (22x34) drawings. We do everything on either A-Size or B-Size and use the company printer to print the drawings on either 8.5x11 or 11x17 paper. We use model space and paper space for all drawings. We are a water treatment company, so we are developing equipment layout and detail drawings as well as flow diagrams and P&IDs. I'm trying to set up some needed CAD standards and I'm having a hard time with the text size on the drawings. My issue is that since the drawings are limited to A & B size, I often have difficulty fitting text, labels, and dimensions. On the flow diagrams, the text and graphics are in model space and only the titleblock is in paper space. On layouts and detail drawings, the graphics are in model space and text and dimensions in paper space. ideally, what I would like to do, is create the drawing on a D-Size (22x34) drawing, plot on 11x17 and have the text size legible and the titleblock not too small. Any way of doing this?

Thanks
