I am doing a 2D drawing of a large item (26' x 22')

I want to draw in SW2012 and enter all my line dimensions as the actual size they will be (i.e. 10'6-3/4"), but have the drawing scaled so that I can work with it on screen with scrolling for miles, and make fit on 11"x17" paper.

I have done this before in a previous version of SW using a model view sheet, and another drawing sheet. I cant quite remember how I did it, and I am seeking the easiest way to do this.

I only need to do this as a 2D drawing, no 3D model necessary.

Thanks in advance
 
You should be able to do this in drafting by just left clicking on 'sheet' in the tree, then selecting 'properties' and changing the scale to whatever suits you. This would also work great because you could have the 11x17 paper already selected and just scale to fit.
