I'm working on an extremely large drawing. I have a scale down question

When I publish it to PDF the page size is too big. I want to know how I can scale it down to a smaller page size, ie 500' x 500', currently I am at 1/4' = 1'. The corel page size now is 2,800 x 2000'.   Thanks, Iain

  • Working on a 500 foot x 500 foot drawing will require a minimum scale of 1/4.  That has a drawing of 125 foot x 125 foot. To create a drawing that can output to PDF from there in 2018 requires some thought. 

    Draw 2018 (if memory serves) has a bug when reducing outlines that reduce below .001 inches, so be aware of that when using outlines in your drawings. 

    I create a PDF preset that down samples images to 85 DPI, that takes care of image effects in the original drawing. 

    All I do is group the entire drawing size it down as needed and export selected. Keep all things on the page or it won't export properly.
