I designed an ITX board mounting hole stencil but... printer problems

I printed the stencil at 100% scaling, measured actual dimensions on the printed drawing and applied a correction factor in my printer settings. The problem is the printer seems to be squashing the drawing in one axis more than the other, but my printer only provides a single scale field that is applied to both axes. Is there any easy way to apply a correction factor to each axis separately in OnShape? If this is not possible, I'll have to hack the drawing so the printed drawing comes out dimensionally accurate.

    Hey Manny. So, your printer printed the stencil to a size that was different than what presumably was in the file you sent to it and either the X or Y dimensions were uniformly wrong but not both? You want to compensate for the error in Onshape, correct? Is this a 2D paper stencil or a 3D stencil? - Scotty
