Roger;

If your referring to Scimitar ticker, I believe the vanes are the biggest pieces, each being around 14 inches or 350mm. Most items are printable on 11inX7.5in sheet, however a few items will require tiled printing as you said. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do about it other than suggest you generate your own, just smaller, or import all of Scimitar dxf's and parametrically shrink everything so the biggest piece fits on one sheet of paper your qualified to print. You would also have to remember to adjust shaft sizes and bearing holes to adapt and work properly, results should be identical, just smaller in size.

Cheers
Bob

I am trying to print out the .DXF files so I can built this Scimitar ticker. I didn't have a CAD program, so I downloaded Bravo! free DWG Viewer software. I don't seem to have the ability to print Tiled printouts and the size of the drawing seem to be huge. Any suggestions? What is the approx. size of larger component?

Thanks,
Roger
