You might consider this idea: Put a grid on your trackplan in its small scale sheet and use those dimensions to layout a flexible paper plan on the layout benchwork if you must have paper. Make paper templates the exact size of the switches you plan to use, lay them out according to your plan on the benchwork you've already constructed & connect them with thin strips of paper or tape. The advantage of this is that you've saved big costs in printing engineering sized sheets that, in all likelyhood, represent a plan that will change as track is layed. In my experience having designed layouts in AutoCAD with dimensions to the 1000th of an inch, the drawing always ends up being used only as a guide anyway. A perfectly thought out curve might start where planned but on the layout seem too small a radius so it shifts a bit. Or the factory siding just looks a little short now that I've placed a few boxcars on it so lets lengthen it a couple of inches. You get the picture. Even though I have a CAD system and could print these full scale templates, I don't. I end up just laying out the actual turnouts according to plan and connecting them with flex track. You might spend the money you would spend on enlarging your track plan and buy a pantograph and use it to trace your plan into a full scale drawing on your benchwork if you need such preciseness and lines on paper..
