Make sure when you create from scratch that your units are in Millimetres AutoCAD DWG to PDF limits you to 5080 by 5080mm or 200 by 200in

 

Could someone please confirmed this and also if there is a custom plotter that can print larger

Does the ps level 2 get you an .eps file? In a book I have about using AutoCAD in PhotoShop it talks about printing to a ps level 2 file. I would think that a PDF file might be a good option as well.

PDF works much better than standard raster formats. PDF gives you vector quality importing, not to mention scaling options among other things. Raster PDF still would be well preferred over JPG, PNG is okay but depends on exactly what you've drawn. My advice is just plot to PDF and drag/drop into Photoshop.
