I use MacDraw zoomed in at twice normal size all the time.  Not only can you
edit with greater precision, but when you print it the lines are thinner...

In case you think I've gone bonkers, here's how you do it:

1. Go to "Page Setup" and tell the printing managerr to reduce by 50%.  This
will work on both the LaserWriter and the ImageWriter.  It will also auto-
matically adjust MacDraw's idea of how big the page is.

2. Go to "Custom Rulers" and set up your rulers with *2* inches per major
division.  This gives you double-size rulers that will measure the size as
printed.

3. If you want to see your drawing actual size, just Reduce by 1 step.

4. Remember that text has to be doubled, as well (24 point gets printed as 12
point).

Knock yourself out...
