when I print it  I get a small image on an A4 sheet, I have to print at work on XP.......how can I print full size on A3 or tiled on A4..........bloody technology, I'm such a retard

Cheers!

It depends which software version you have. Later versions of Adobe will do a multi-page print. My version is old, and won't do that, so I print the area on the screen in full size. Four sheets will cover the whole template. I do a fifth one, centred, for bridge, pickups and neck joint alignment.

I'm so lucky, I have a plotter at work so I can print full size accurately on a single sheet.

Here it is split into 6 tiled pages: http://www.rkfst.co.uk/content/forum/Mustang-6-pages.pdf

When you print it (whether through Acrobat, Adobe Reader, Chrome etc) just make sure that any "Fit to page" or "Page Scaling" options are deselected. The black square that prints out by the neck should come out 10mm.

@paulnb57 No worries, good luck with the project!

If sitcking pages together make suer you do it in a warm dry room. You'd be surprised how much paper moves when damp and cold. Unfortunately it moves (expands) in one direction only.

If youre not sorted yet PM me, I can print you a copy on my A0 plotter, youd just need to cover the postage (paper is cheap).
