I am working on some drawings and would like to know an easy way to toggle between my screen size and my print size in real time my sheet size is 36" x 24"

 

Thanks

In your Layout (formerly called paperspace) the size of the text is the same as what you would expect to see when the drawing in plotted.

 

I'm not sure what this "toggling" between screen size and print size is that you are referring to.

 

Answer the above question and we'll go on from there.

Like ReMark, I'm not entirely sure I understand the question, but if you want to display a 36" x 24" sheet at actual print size, in the words of Police Chief Martin Brody "You're gonna need a bigger boat!" (Screen)

I think jeffd24 is trying to do what you can in photo shop and that is "display print size" which is handy when editing large pictures but im sure autocad can not do this

What I meant by toggleing is looking at my plot preview screen which shows me what it will look like but not at actual print size but display size. Sparkyuk was correct photoshop can do this I wasn't sure if autocad could as it would be helpful at times
