I would like to print a test printing of my layout pages at a smaller scale than my final printing. How can I do this easily, without changing all my settings in the Page Setup dialog?
ANSWER A check plot is a test print that allows you to print at a reduced scale on smaller, less expensive paper so you can check that the drawing will print as expected. In a check plot, the drawing scale is temporarily adjusted to a specified fraction of its true value. Both drawing scale and line weights are subject to this scale adjustment.
