With autocad you can make the drawing 1:1 then scale it to the size that you want. Plot to a pdf, email it to whomever you wish. They can then take the file to your local printer and have it plotted.

Here is one that I have been working on. 1/16 scale Bridge master ext.

You can also search the web for free cad software there are many different cad programs available. Learning the software you get has a large learning curve.

Sketching things out first always helps.

Here is just one of many, http://www.cadstd.com/

good luck, and if you have questions just ask.

Thanks for the link Carl I downloaded cadstd and have been messing around with it since last night. It will take some getting use to since I have not used a cad program since high school which was a version of auto cad released in 1991.
