CNC router sheet with layout of parts - assembly export DXF

I have created an assembly with multiple parts within the size of a timber sheet 1220 x 2400 mm, to be CNC cut.
Trying to export in DXF I seem to have to create a drawing first. (Why can't I select all parts and export?)
I created a drawing with a blank sheet A3 at 1:1, all parts exceed the sheet in this case.
I right-click the drawing tab, then export the DXF. This should be 1:1.
When I open the drawing im eDrawings (SW) and measure the size, it is 25.4 of what it should be.
What am I doing wrong? Or is this a bug?

    In a Part Studio, you can right-click any 2D face and select "Export as DXF."  But for multiple parts, you'll want to create a drawing.  Pretty easy, though.  Just right-click an assembly tab and select "Create drawing of..."  

    Not sure if eDrawings is misinterpreting the units.  Maybe change your workspace units in Onshape and re-export.

    Also, have you seen the Auto Layout custom feature?  I love it!
