Hello,

I created a flowchart using shapes in Lucidchart.  I used font sizes between 10 and 14 point.  Now I’d like to print the flowchart using an HP plotter on paper that is 42 inches high and 72 inches wide.  How do I increase the font size and shape size proportionately so that the flowchart is large enough to read from a reasonable distance, without having to adjust the size of each shape manually?

Also how do you choose the printer you want to print to?  When I choose print I don’t see an option to choose.

I have tried resizing the canvas but the custom size option won’t let me increase the size beyond 8.5x11. 

Thanks
