Printing to Scale problem

Terry
Hi all,  OK so I draw a circle using "center radius" And type 62 into the dialog box. A circle is drawn 124 mm in diameter, perfect, but when it is printed it is larger. To double check I added a dimension line to the circle and it came up with 124 mm as you would expect. I am probably missing something here and any help would be appreciated.     Thanks, Terry

If you just print via the Print button, the drawing is scaled to fit to the page with some border margin.
If you want to print in a certain scale, like 1:1, you have to go via Print Preview and make your settings there. Stay in that mode and print from there (with the normal Print button).
The following is for 2.2 RC version, but mostly valid for 2.1.3 also.
