I want to print the full drawing but I can only print 1 sheet of paper.
My drawing ist greater then 1 sheet. It is 1280 mm Length and 500 mm Hight.
My printer can print only A4 sheet.
How can I print it on diferent sheets.

  Do you have the Drawing Module paid for add-on ?

  I do not know of an automatic way to sub divide exactly a large something ( model views with dimension annotations?) into exact smaller somethings that can all be joined up.

  Maybe someone else does...

  This is a guess - you need to find a repeatable scale that can be repeatably positioned.

  Try making a component ( or many ) of an A4 sheet size printing area for your printer.

  To help, make it 20 ~30% transparant to see your print views /objects.

  Fit the A4 print size component, side by side and aligned all over your full size you want printed.

  Select one print size component, then key ' z ' ( this zooms automatically to fit that size )

  Hide it or all, showing only the desired print articles.

  Print that 'size' / 1:1 ratio - repeat process for next view. Cut and paste.

   

  This is a method from my mind - i do not know your printer...
