Printing large images using Visio

[Edward]

I have a multilayered image (document) I would like to print. The drawing
page size is 149" x 154" and the print zoom is set to "fit to exactly 1
sheet" so my image is large and complex.

Is there any way I can convert the Visio document as a jpg (or something
similar)? If I could convert the image (jpg) to at least a 48" x 48" image
with at least a 300 dpi, I would be happy, prefer larger but this will do for
now. When I try saving the drawing (converting) as a jpg I get an 920 error
that says "an error (920) occurred during the action Save As. An error
occurred. Visio is unable to complete exporting." Why does this happen?
Can anyone help?

FYI - I have another post under "visio 920 error" but thought I would cross
post with a little more specificity of my problem.

Thanks!

I think the problem is the reslting image size, 48"x48" at 300dpi =
14400x14400 pixels x 16bit colourspace (good enough for this example)
= 414MB (at a quick reckoning)

Yes the file is large since I mentioned it in my thread. I am trying to
find a way to convert the visio drawing to an image to be able to print on a
plotter that is 48" x 48". I know it can be done but I am not sure how. A
graduate student a couple of years ago, (he's graduated and moved on) was
able to send an image to a print company who printed out an 8' x 8' image of
the drawing on cloth. Yes, that's right 8 foot x 8 foot, so I know it can be
done, I just don't know how he did it. If anyone has insight, please share.

Thanks!

The physical size of the image (8'x8' in this case) is not really
connected to the size of the image in pixels. The printing company can
scale up as required. Try saving in WMF format and use lower
resolution, 300dpi over 48" is completely OTT.
