When you enlarge, you enlarge everything. The lines will get thicker. One way would be to enlarge the plans and then trace over them with a fine tip pen.

I've been wondering the same things...

Enlarging 1/200 scale plans to 1/72 scale?

Greatings,

I'm sure a lot of you have had this problem before, what is the best way to scale plans up this much without losing the quality of the drawings? I'm a big fan of oddball ships, so I don't have the luxury of finding mulitple sets of plans in different scales to choose from....

Any attempt to scan/resize on my computer results in a distorted drawing that looks like it was drawn in magic marker.

I'd prefer to just go to the copy shop to have them enlarged...

Is their anyway to keep the line thickness down short of redrawing the plans?

Thanks in advance.
