can anyone tell me how to go about having two drawings reduced in size at the moment they are 1597mm x 907mm with a scale 1/4 inch = one foot. ideally would help if they were reduced by half making them about 798mm x 453 mm with a scale of 1/8 inch = one foot . i live in the coventry area . look forward to hearing from anyone . thanks ade

I’ve had some luck going to commercial printers who work with blueprints and such. Not the hole in the wall ones that do business reports etc. The one I went to (in The Netherlands unfortunately) scaled some 1/48th drawings down to 1/96th for me. It’s a scan and print type activity and very accurate.
