The first sheet is this size, but the subsequent sheets seem to be a smaller size, around 6.8 x 9.335 inches...seems to suggest you used different sheet sizes for the different parts.

Just want to be sure I have it all at the same relative size when I print them out....

Thanks!

Cheers!

Don't get me to lying to you, I had the paper size set at standard letter but I do all my designs on MS paint and if you ever use MS Paint you know it tends to do what it wants. I am glad you noticed that and brought it to my attention because I never noticed it. I guess do what you have to, I am stupid when it comes to scaling and printing sizes. To get every thing to scale on paper I have been using one of the 40 foot containers as my guide and measuring every thing off of that, so every thing is of right scale amongst it self but as for printing I just print it all out using the, "NONE" scaling and have my settings for, "LETTER". It seems to be right on.
