: Thanks for the info. I went to the site and checked out the demo. It says the
: feature that allows you to print a large drawing to multiplte sheets(for a
: small printer) is disabled in the demo. How did you get around this to
: print the templates? Or can you print this size?

I am not familiar with this program, but I know that many copy places will print from drawing files. This way you can get the whole lot on a single sheet, just like bought plans. Best if you can find a program that lets you save in a generic format that can be opened by Autocad or similar as these are likly to be most available at the copy shops.

Can save a bit of mucking around with heaps of little bits of paper, and reduces the chance of errors.
