      Steps for successful PDF (or EPS or DWG) export to scale:

      1. Select Parallel projection (Camera menu)
      2. Select one of the standard views (Camera menu or toolbar button)
      3. Set your export scale in the export options and export.
      4. When printing the PDF to paper, set Page Scaling to None in the Print dialog (assuming you are using Adobe Reader), the default is Fit to Printable Area

      This should get you a correct print within the tolerances of your printer.
