Hey Dazza,
Not sure on how your printing these?
Or dont you have a printer?

Hey Dazzio.

What plans for a Cat are in question? Can you link to them?
Anyway, if the plans have some measurements on them, you should be able to get them in the right size. Just arm yourself with some large sized papers, a calculator, a sharp pencil, patience and precision.
If the plans have no measurements, just print them out and decide how to multiplicate the measurements you can get from a simple ruler.

Cheers!

Woodie.

Hi i do have a printer but only A4 size and when i size the plans obviously they are too small if i try enlarge them i just get an A4 page with maybe a line on.not sure how to do it.the plans im wanting are here.cheers DAZ

You need the ability (and appear to have that ability) to "tile" the print on your printer. As the page is large then you are going to get some pages with just a line on. Do a tile print with no scaling and then stick the pages together. I admit getting the pages in order can be tricky but you just need to work out if it prints left to right and row by row or from top to bottom and then by column.

Your easiest option is to find a local sign shop with a printer and ask them to do the print for you.

Hi Daz

Yes I agree that a local print shop could be the best bet to get it enlarged with decent quality and at little cost.

If you are going to manually enlarge the plans you might consider using a pantograph. It is a clever geometric device designed to reduce or enlarge plans and images. And you can use it again and again without further costs.
If you google pantograph, you will find plenty of information and prices.
