Export Sketch as PDF or DXF with Dimensions Unchanged

This may be out of the scope of these forums, but all I am trying to do is essentially get a sketch exported somehow to a PDF such that I can open it on Adobe Acrobat Reader and print it as multiple sheets to tape together to be full size (poster or tile print). However, currently I am exporting the sketch as a DXF and then converting online to PDF, but every time I do this the actual dimensions get changed. Does anyone know of a way to actually achieve what I'm trying to do? I've attached the DXF in imperial units for reference. Thanks

Your DXF did not make it to your post.

It doesn't seem to let me attach it. I've attached the part file instead, there is a sketch labeled "DXF" that you can export as DXF if you're able. Thanks

Hi @tranq006 

Have you considered creating a 2D drawing at a scale of 1:1 and export this to PDF?

Thanks, that worked for this! I wonder if there is another way to do it if, for instance, your sketch was larger than the maximum sheet size
