I asked my designer to scale up a print so that I could read it without straining my eyes. I got a whole line of bull why he can't do this. But specifically: I have to produce a drawing to ANSI standards on a C size print. The only way I can make this part larger is to section off a portion of it and enlarge it for YOU.
I asked why he couldn't change the scale. He said it was a pdf. I asked why he couldn't open the parent document, increase the scale, save it and then produce the pdf. He said it cannot be done. Something about (Yes, I am experienced with CAD drawings but I could not follow his logic) something about sitting in a smart car and a lincoln. I told him the font on the speedometer was the same size but he said that id not matter.
My example to him was a print that utilized 14% of the bordered region the 8.5x11 landscape print provided in the package. This part is about the size of a soft ball. The font is so small and fine I have to strain to read it. The next part is the size of a used up pencil. I can read it just fine. The next part is the size of pump that you could have trouble holding in your lap. I can read it. All produced on a C size drawing.
BTW I was able to show him 2 examples sitting on my machine shop table at that time. He told me to take it to someone else who has access to the prints, blow it up and print it out for me.
Help me carry this subject to fruition without being fired.
Thanks, Lee
