I was going to ask in alt.cad but there's so much garbage there......
I have plans (66"x 36" ) that I want to increase by 2:1 and get a print. It
would be OK in 4 sheets.
Can anyone tell me if this can be done, and if so how and where?
TIA

I'd try a copy service like Kinko's - I know that the local Kinko's
has large-format printers, but not sure about scanners/copiers.

TT_Man,
You don't mention what format these files are. It undoubtedly can be
done but most will want to know what file format before they can give any
measure of helpful advice.

Sorted, I found a printer company that can scan 850 mm wide, enlarge/split
and print on continuous paper 840mm wide.
