HELP! Can't print visio floor plans legibly

[RsrAdministrator123]

Hi, we are using Visio 2000 (I've also tried this in 2003 too) on XP. We
have some floor plans that we've converted from Cad, the maps are highly
detailed with layers so the conversion appears flawless. The only problem
is, we need to view the maps at 800 to 1000% in order for the detail to be
legible. This is not a problem at all on screen, the only issue is we cant
print the maps large enough to read. They show up as very small images in the
center of the page.

I've tried everything in the print set up menu to get Visio to print using
the entire sheet. Is there a way I can increase the size of the map to read
the same detail and print larger?

Is it converted or embedded?

If embedded then you should be able to resize the CAD file? You may need to
remove the protection for the size of the CAD object.

If converted, then you will need to group and resize. You may have problem
with font sizes after this.
