I agree with Shane. To get your enlargement/reduction spot on, tape or draw a
line on the master of a specific length. For example, if you want to enlarge 1:72
scale plans to 1:48 (150%) draw a line 4 inches long on the master. When the line
on the enlargement measures exactly 6 inches long (4 in. x 1.5), your plans are
1:48 scale.
