Yes, you can force Autocad to plot any size drawing to fit on any size sheet
or you can have it print full size or scale any way you want.  I would
suggest you bring the file to a local CAD draftsperson from your phone book
and have them plot it.  Sounds to me like te people you are dealing with
don't know what they are doing.  I would be happy to do it for you, but I
don't have a big plotter, just 11 X 17 laser.
