help me print a 1:50 drawing on a A3 paper

Ok I can't use Autocad. I am simply trying to place a 1:50 scale drawing on a A3 sheet. And when I save as adobe PDF the drawing is minature and it's driving me insane!!!

 

So I have my drawing 1:50 scale

I go to Layout 

Then I go to page setup manager,  Edi,t  Scale 1:1,  Monochrome, A3 etc, then save

 

Then I go print  A3, scale 1:50,  Adobe pd,f  And then it goes down hill from there.

 

I am using a mac

 

Could anyone goes though this process with me please, step by step.

 

Thanks

It would appear you don't draw at 1:1. so a 1:50 plot scale of a 1:50 drawn object is tiny indeed.

 

Post a DWG file with the problem, let's all have a look.

Hey there,

I have added my attachment (don't laugh) when I try setting it to scale,
then go print preview, I get this every time. I feel like i have tried
everything and it just wont print to scale.

Thanks Laura
