divide drawing on multiple sheets

[salsero]

Good morning, I have a question.

I'm making wooden projects for hobby in the garage. I designed them in inventor with assembled test, and so far it's okay.

I would like to be able to divide an example project along 1500mm in multiple printed a4 sheets and then assembled in length with scotch and then transfer everything to wood.
it was a technique that I used often in the time of aeromodellism, the plans were already divided into sheets a4 without cartiglio, nothing was only drawing and any notes. I don't know if it's something you can do directly with inventor or I have to use an external software.

Let me know if I explained well, in case of photos.

Thank you in advance for the answers.

Hi.
the solution +
1) make the table with all the detail (scale) in the sheet
2) save in dwg for autocad
3) open with autocad the dwg and then print to "window" in a4 or a3 format (depending on your printer ) in scale 1:1
4)scotch.

Do I have to use autocad? you can not do everything internally to inventor

inventor is not prepared to do this, there is no possibility of permanently binding the design with the sheet (it would be a desirable thing but, for now, it is not possible )
with a little imagination you could get there, like creating a sketch with a grid a4, multiplying the sheets with the views and, on each, cutting the part of the puzzle.
the autocad solution is definitely the fastest.
Alternatively, go to the script and let you print it, I think it's cheaper.

broken the plotter today so you are close morally;-)
I printed on pdf and from pdf reader there is the function to print on multiple sheets automatically.
below foxit reader, for example. I climbed "a peline" to save sheets but it is not necessary.
