Scale up drawings for print

I have drawings based on 8.5 x 11" page size. I need to
reprint them for large scale view, say 44 x 34" page size.
I now have to create a PDF and scale it. I'd like to scale
it in Visio so it looks better. Is there a way to scale
the drawing so I don't need two versions: small and large?

Thanks,

Sn

Worked just fine. There was no constraint or font scaling,
but that was easily adjusted. This is the same technique
used in Illustrator and Freehand I did not think of it!

Thanks for the pointer,

Sn
