Print to Scale

The print scale settings are at the lower left of the printing screen. 

 

The largest possible scale of the printout is determined by the actual size of the structure drawn and the size of the paper you are printing on. Only the scale options that will fit the drawing on the selected paper will be active. 

 

To get a larger scale for a given drawing, you need to use larger paper. If your printer doesn't support larger paper, you can print on regular paper and have it enlarged at a copy/print shop. If you put something on the drawing four feet long, you can ask them to blow it up until it is one inch long. That will provide 1/4" per ft scale.
