Printing to scale

I have a 4" square in a sketch that I'm printing, but the square comes out probably 8" square. How do I make the sketch print to scale?

Thanks,
Jay

    @jay_williams Create a drawing for the item you want to print to scale.  A drawing has a notion of a view scale and a paper size and the print function will work with those.  A caveat though is that we don't show sketches on a drawing, just solid geometry.
