William's Workbench

I use the free version of Google Sketchup for a lot of my CAD work. Something that has always been a pain is trying to print to scale. SU insisted on putting a small part that would easily fit on a pge on 4 pages, with a corner of the part on each of the pages. A big of Google sleuthing turned up this solution, which was paraphrased from this blog post.

I had to look high and low for these so I’ll put them here for next time.
