Multiple Sheet Sets and Scales

[Anonymous]

Hello All, this is a newbie question but I have found it hard to find a direct solution to this. I have a sheet set in Revit and my drawings are all scaled to this sheet set (22"x34" sheets). I need to create a quick 11"x17" sheet set with only some of my drawings. Of course when I put the drawing on the smaller sheet the size/scale is way off. I dont want to change the drawing scale for 11x17 because all of my line work and text sizes become overblown in size. Is there an easy, quick way to create an 11"x17" sheet set without redrawing every drawing to get the drawings to read properly at a smaller/larger scale? Thanks!

Huh?    

Turn Thin Lines OFF and Print to Fit.   

...and accept the results -- or not.

My question may have been worded poorly, so I will try to clarify. This question is about setting up new sheets. There is likely a very easy solution that I am not aware of as a newbie. Example: I have drawn a drawing at 1/4" scale for a large sheet. I need to print it to PDF on a small sheet for a submittal. How do I put a large drawing on a small sheet? When I change the scale to make it smaller so that it fits on my small sheet, (logically) all of my text changes size and is unreadable. Could anyone tell me a way to shrink a drawing to a smaller page size other than change the scale (I dont want to have to redraw everything that scales poorly ). Thanks!

You have to duplicate the view as multiple dependant views, then crop them and place on smaller sheets.

Quick and easy...

Open the print dialogue > Print Settings > Zoom > 50%

This will print your A1 size sheet on A3. Be aware that all your scales will now be halved.

You can save your view as image. In the floor plan view, right click on the floor plan view name in project browser, and pick ‘Save to Project as Image’. Adjust the view scale and scale the image by the factor of 24 or 48 or 96 etc. depending on the scale you want.

If the text and dimension sizes are readable in 50% reduction then you can just scale to 50%. I do not know a way to preserve the text sizes when reducing the paper size.
