Saving as .dwg and printing options

[Bethybrain]

I'm a brand new user..WooHoo! anyways...

First, I need to save in a format that can be exported as an attachment to my architect so she can open it in AutoCad. She'd like a .dwg, but, it looks as if I can only save as .plan or saving as a .pdf which, in this case, isn't preferable.

Second, currently, I only have easy access to a homestyle printer. I'd like to save in a format that I can take the prints to an offsite printer that can print larger scale. but, since the printer loaded on this computer only handles up to 8-1/2 x 14 that's the only options I'm given.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,Beth
