DXF SCALING ISSUE.

Enthusiastic noob/amateur here. I've been using Onshape to model weld fixtures for work. They use Inventor in the office, and DXF format for the lasers. When I export a drawing to the engineer in DXF format, the scale of the drawing is translated to the scale of the model. The pieces come out the exact size as the drawing on the printed paper. So I have to scale the drawing in Onshape at 1:1, often much larger than a piece of paper, which then she has to make a bunch of changes before she sends it to the laser tables... Any way around this? Thanks a lot in advance.

I've been using DXF export from part studio to my laser machine, and everything has been the correct size. Have you tried this as a work-around instead of sending a drawing?5
