Thanks, as mentioned, having trouble with units, I was intending to work in mm, which would make the work at a 1:1 scale. On my end, my preferences are set to mm as unit, and in the unit command they are also set to mm. I can't figure out why it is not in mm. 

However, I was able to solve my problem by cutting and pasting onto an iso template, so while this is still a mystery to me, the problem is solved.
