Bogdan,

in ZWCAD you created dimension 130 mm. In Creo this dimension has value 32.5.

32.5:130 can be simplified as 1:4.

It seems to me that in ZWCAD you use scale 1:4. Therefore the real distance of entities is 32.5 mm (not 130 mm).

It would be good to crop your images. They are seriously distorted in this forum.

As for using saved sketches, you want to be sure that they are "self sufficient" with the exception of one x and one y reference. When you open such a sketch, you have the option to set a scale. When you place such a sketch, it also attempts to snap to an X and Y reference if it is near the drag center.

Make sure your sketch is fully constrained to itself and use locked dimensions.

if your sketch is too complicated try zoom in before you scale..that will not distort the sketch.
