3. Print Setup Paper size should be C Sheet: 17 in x 22 in
4. Page size should be Custom size to match the 17x22
5&6. Drawing Scale should be Custom scale around 1 in = 12 ft
You can see the scaled size of the page while adjusting the custom scale. Choose a scale to allow the page size to be greater than the page size because you will need a border around the objects you place on the page because printers won't print right to the edge of the paper.

Thank you. Forgive me for my limited knowledge of Visio. I have used these directions to create a key building block of 198ftx220ft. I can't figure out how to change the color of its outside border only.
Next I need to make a 5x5 matrix of this shape and then make its border even darker. Finally, I need to make a 4x4 matrix of that bigger shape which will be 3,960 ft x 4,400 ft.
To fit the final large shape on a 11x17 page and leaving 1" border, I'll need to scale it to 1"=396ft. Should I start with that scale?
