I edited a couple drawings, I am new to this program and I do not know what I did.  I have a drawing that was a 24x36 in size and now it is a fraction of what the orginal drawing size when I print.   If someone could please help out, I am in need of help as I have completed two drawings and I have the same mess...

For anyone to give you an answer to that, they're going to need to know alot more info than what you've given.

Are you plotting from Paperspace or Modelspace?


Here is a list of things to start looking at:

Plot Scale: Usually this is 1:1, but your original setting could have been different. Only you and whoever created the drawing would know what this was.

Paper Size: based on your initial statement, make sure it is 24x36 and that the plotter has the correct size paper in it.

Plot Area: Make sure it is plotting only the area(s) you want plotted. My "What to plot:" setting is usually set to "Window", but I know alot of people have theirs set to "Display". If yours is set to display and you zoomed out, then that may explain it.

Good Luck!!
