    In the drawing, make sure the sheet is 1:1 scale. When you send it to your printer, make sure you have the printer scale at 100%, and also make sure the paper size in the printer dialog matches the Onshape drawing size.

    To double check you got it all correct, put a dimension on your drawing, and after it prints out, measure that with a ruler.

    I just want to add to this from my experience. 

    Do not use your browser to print. Onshape creates a PDF to enable printing most browsers will display the PDF but when printing your browser *may* still scale the print. mine was off by about 2%

    By using Adobe PDF Reader to print the accuracy increased dramatically. however still not exact.

    I use printing to make a paper template fro drill holes.
