Printing a neighborhood map

Post by rlaw » Sun Aug 01, 2021 8:14 pm

I have a map of my neighborhood that I'm trying to print. It covers an area of 1/2 mile to 3/4 mile square. I have tried printing it to pdf as is and with the 1:4096 inches. My map is at about -1700' to -1450' in the horizontal axis and -920' to-700' in the veritcal axis.

All I get is a blank screen and page. I'm sure hoping that I don't have to but the 2d drafting program from Dasault Systems. It is the program that originally worked.
