Bruce - here attached is a demo drawing with just one 60-foot line on
it, scaled to 1/48 (options...drawing...scale of layer 1023 = 1/48),
and with the scaling of the area "all" (file...area...options...scale
= 1/48) also set to 1/48. The page setup of the "all" area is A3
landscape, and it prints on one sheet.

I think this realises what you are trying to do - but if not, please clarify.
