My family tree is simply huge.  It prints at 53% resolution over three pages and it barely fits for the page formats offered in the program. 

Is it possible to configure the program so that I can print an "A" size (biggest size) or "B" engineering drawing format? 

Or, is it possible to save the file as a drawing (e.g., *.dwg) or a like engineering drawing file so that I can print a readable copy of my tree? 

Printed today in landscape over three letter length pages is still not readable without hand held magnification! 

Any ideas to achieve a print of the tree as one large "drawing" to assist my endeavor would be greatly appreciated!

GenoPro can print on large papers.  Two weeks ago I went to visit a professor using GenoPro in Genetic Councelling and he printed his family tree on a piece of paper 20 feets long.  If you have the printer to do it, GenoPro can print it for you.

GenoPro does not support .dwg, however you can export into Metafile (Menu -> File -> Export -> Metafile).  A metafile is a graphic in vector format and is supported by almost any drawing program and word processor.

it barely fits for the page formats offered in the program.

Page sizes offered by a Windows program are determined by the printers that you have installed, which is why you are being offered Letter size.
To get different sizes for your print set up you need extra printer drivers. One way to do this is to install a pdf printer driver. However you need to check that the page size will work with the printer or plotter you use.
