Hi,
I have about 70 DGN drawings that the line weights and text styles were setup to display properly when the drawings were printed to a size D 24" x 36". I now need to print these drawings to a size B 11" x 17". When I do print to this size the lines and text are too heavy. How can I have the printed lines and text scale down to display properly at the 11" x 17" print size? I'm using MS V8 2004 version 08.05.01.25. Thanks for your help with this.

The easiest approach is to plot them to PDF full size and scale them when printing to 1/2 size.
Next requires you to copy the plot driver you usually use and to redefine all line weights in the copy to be 1/2 of their normal weight.
Or write a pen table that has 32 sections, one for each weight and in it, reduce the weight - but imply reducing the weight by 1/2 is not always 100% correct.
