How to print a paper template from a sketch or face?

I've created a part with some big holes, now I want to print a paper template so I could cut it using power jigsaw, and a drill.. If I try to export sketch, it goes without dimensions and more importantly without centermarks. Is there any way to create real size dxf from sketch and with at least centermarks?

    Hmm - i believe that there is much easier way! :)

    Simply RMB over the face and select Export as DWG/FXF
    You will get a borderless drawing at 1:1

    Thank you! The trickiest part was to find where to specify 1:1 scale!
