I created a large schematic on an A2, or was it A1, size page, which is larger than a letter size of course. When I want to print it I could rescale it to fit on a single letter size page but then the diagram and text is too small to read.

Is there a way to print the original schematic or an enlarged one on multiple letter size sheets that I then tile together? Could not find this in the print feature.

Thanks for any help.

You can save the schematic to picture (from print preview), then print out the picture on few letters. It may be possible to do it with PDF file as well.

Also you can try to print each letter from DipTrace. Set desired scale, move schematic to get part of the sheet on paper and print it, then move schematic to print another part of the sheet and so on.

Thanks. I ended up doing it by enlarging, magnifying the schematic in print preview and re-positioning each part on the page and then printing one at a time. It worked ok.

Tiled printing would be a nice addition to the package!
