| Note: | When attempting to enlarge a drawing beyond a copier's range, you'll need to | ||||||||||||||||||
| do it in several steps. The chart below shows the two sucessive enlargements | |||||||||||||||||||
| required for copies greater than 200%. For example: to get a 333% copy, | |||||||||||||||||||
| first you make a 200% copy; then, using that 200% copy as your master, | |||||||||||||||||||
| make a 166% copy; the result will be a 333% copy of the original drawing. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Similarly, when making a copy less than 20% of the original, I suggest also | |||||||||||||||||||
| doing it in two steps. For example, if you want to make a 14% copy: first, | |||||||||||||||||||
| make a 50% copy; then, using that 50% copy as your master, make a 28% | |||||||||||||||||||
| copy; the result will be 14% copy of the original drawing. | |||||||||||||||||||
