Company has sent me a trail copy of AutoCAD Electrical.
I'm going through practice lessons, the issue I'm having is I use the template
ACAD_ELECTRICAL.dwt and draw a simple electrical control circuit in ladder format.
I then want to print it out, but only have a standard 8.5x11 printer. The drawing does print out but the symbols and title block entries are too small to make out.
Is there a way for me to develop the drawing so it can be read printing to 8.5x11 paper.

does the drawing fill up the whole page when you print? if not, on the print options block, print to "extents". if it already does, then you either need to scale your ladder smaller or make the text size bigger.
