This time I enlarged the plat, and outlines my property, his, and my
other next door neighbor in different colored lines, using MSPaint.

The only problem now is how to print the thing the way it looks on the
screen. MSPaint and Win Picture and Fax Viewer have minds of their own.


I think I asked about cl here before but forgot the answer. I don't
think I'll forget again. (and I couldn't think of a way to google.)

Use Irfanview to 'resize' that is change the pixels per inch, of the image.

Then go back and make FOUR quadrants of your drawing with that proper
pixels per inch. Then print those four pages using MSpaint.
Cut and paste together to get LARGE drawings. Or, six sections to make C
size?


Irfanview is free. Also get a free copy of Paint.Net


I hadn't heard of paint.net before. It looks good. thanks.


Danny D told me about Paint.Net here. The photo below was my first,
so far. Together, Irfanview and Paint.Net are a great match together.

Did I mention free

Sample photo I made:
