PRINT SKETCH SCALE 1:1

hello,

is it possible to print a sketch in a model in 1:1 scale?

thanks

The way I do this if I need it is to make the sketch and then make a drawing with the sketch. Then you can set the scale to 1.0 in the views that show it and print it. Doing this also makes sure I'll be able to fit the thing on a specific size of paper. I've had to use multiple views to "cover" the whole thing on bigger sketches.

Ken is right.  The best way to insure you get true scale is to translate it to a drawing view. 

I use this rule for DXF as well.  Just remember to toggle the border off before exporting/printing.
