I have a drawing that is drawn small and offsize. How do I blow it up and get it to fit my paper? I'm printing on 11 x 14 legal paper. It is printing about a eighth of the area on it and I want it to print the full size of the paper.

I tried screwing around with scale, and got nowhere. I don't have ALOT of ACAD experience, but I have some. Just enough to get by I guess.

It's been a while since I played with ACAD, but if you use the WINDOW option and drag a box around the drawing, you should be able to the select something along the lines of "Fit to Page" or similar....

I use 2000 and 2002, so it might not be the same, but when you go to plot, you have to change it from A4, letter, 8x11 whatever it is to what you want such as 11x14, and then change scale from 1:1 to Scale to Fit, and make sure to check print drawing extents
