Jeff, We do all of our fabrication & assembly drawings in AutoCAD and at 2:1 scale if possible. I would defiantly try a copy store to get a larger print (we have Dayton Blue Print here in Dayton www.daytonblue.com) as it helps immensely when you have a print you can actually read with out magnifying glass.
