Why you use that gigantic font size?

That bug has been around for a while. It happens when text goes beyond 50 inches.

Wouldn't be a big deal to shrink the image. Would it?

Could you upload the Visio file?  Vsd format would be preferred.

What is the ultimate, output size desired?

hello wapperdude,

I will ask Xerox guy about his printer size but i guess 2 meter wide and the lenth is what i want .

I still didn't finish the diagram, i will send it to you when i am finished to edit the size.

could you tell me how to edit the size in case you were unavailable once i finish

The normal progression is:
1) have the desired printer installed, i.e., print driver.
2) select an available sheet size that printer can produce
3) select desired drawing size, typically this matches the printer sheet size
4) set the drawing scale size, typically left at 1:1.
5) setup the drawing sheet characteristics, e.g., inches, mm, background pages, etc.

I go thru that because your Xerox comment "sounds" like steps 1 - 3 are missing.  How is it that you propose to do the actual printing?
