Printing a multi page drawing.

I am trying to print a drawing that will be used as a 1:1 pattern for cutting out wood forms ( wood bending jig ).   For the life of me, I can't find out how to do it.  The dimensions are about 42" by 24".   I tried sizing the sheet as D sized.  It fits on that size of sheet,but I still can't seem to get it to print out on multiple pages on my printer. 

 

I have been excited about learning Fusion 360 as the best new cad program for my new furniture business.  I will eventually use it for CNC routing, but this printing mess has got me spooked.

 

Thanks

Hey Ken,

I might be able to help. Can you attach your file here so we can get a sense of what you're trying to do?

I think this link will work.  https://a360.co/2r5lxLq

 

If it doesn't, let me know.

 

Thanks

I think I have a workable system.  Export the drawing as a PDF, then open it in Acrobat.  Acrobat allows me to tile large pages onto the printer.  It's the last step that was missing.

 

I'll have to measure the printed output to make sure some scaling issues haven't crept it.

 

Thanks

Yeah, that's what I was going to suggest. Fusion doesn't support multi-sheet printing from large formats. Acrobat is the way I always did it before I had access to large format machines and printers.
