Question
I am just learning how to use autocad and i have a final presentation for school coming up. My question is how do i make a presentation board using autocad? the presentation board needs to be "20" x "20"

Answer
Hi--

If you will write back with the subject you are presenting and the number of boards, whether you want it rendered in color on fancy paper,  high school or college and type of class, etc ---- THEN, I could know how to reply fully. (but simply, since this could be an entire weekly class, to cover it all)

However, if you just want to print a floor plan larger, or some other simple thing, you need to print larger. This is covered in your AutoCAD class or in the book. (I hope you are not teaching yourself AutoCAD, you dont say)
Obviously, you need a larger printer or plotter, so telling me if there is one you can use at school helps, too -- otherwise you plot to a disc and go to a printing shop.

Also, boards are very rarely square (as in I have NEVER seen it) --- are you sure you have the size correct?

Notice, that as an instructor, I try to get you to learn to  you ask questions fully, which is a great professional habit to learn.

Write back with all details and I will do my best.
