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

dmitry_olyenyov

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?

hi, create drawing of your part in 1:1 scale, place centermarks in drawing invironment using corresponding button, and export the drawing as .dxf

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!
