Exporting a sketch as DXF

I have a sketch which is circular, centered on the origin, and about 50 cm wide. I have the measurement unit set to "cm" in my workspace.
When I export the sketch as DXF, I get something that looks like this (viewing in Inkscape):
So this was scaled to a couple centimeters diameter, and also the origin was changed from center to the bottom left of the page.
Why is that, and what would I need to do to just get the exact same dimensions in the resulting image, and have it centered on the page?
Thanks and best regards
Thomas
