I dont do it this way as I have a professional drafting printing company that can print for me from whatever type file I give them. But with the paper plans they are basically just zeroxing them to a reduced size and is a lot less hassles if you arent a very graphic versed person.

Don't know of many CAD's that save tiff's so that's a non starter.

I DO know that there are proper drafting/graphics outfits that can do CAD drawings. And since you'd need the proper size anyway.....

Or can Kinko's scale up to full size from an 8 1/2 x 11 directly? As in 6 or 8 times without getting into expensive in between prints?

Of course the in betweens make great 1/2 A models too.......
