Dimensions of scetch an drawing does not match

Hey folks!
I experience some strange behaviour and I hope that you can help me here.
When I draw the Sketch I place dimensions till everything is grey/black to fix every position.
Afterwards I want to place measures in my drawing and they are not the same dimensions!
For example the dimension on the upper right: 1.1m in the sketch, 1220mm in the drawing.
Does somebody know what is happening here? Thanks a lot!

But isn't 1.1 m equal to 1100mm? Why does it convert to 1220mm?
Also the drawing looks like the two parts of the assembly does look like they are a little bit offset in comparison to the assembly. This might lead to the deviation.
I wanted to give you a clean document without all the unnecessary details. So I made a copy of my file and every dimension was coorect.
After some struggling I found out, that I manually have to update the context in my component (I use the context from the assembly to place everything)
So, yea, it was totally my fault because I didn't know that.So if someone find this question later on:
Refresh the context and everything will be fine.
Thank you anyway, Neil!
