PDF Drawing not printing to scale

Hello,

  I came across a problem this morning that I could not resolve.  I am in the process of creating some templates for a project that I am building and am having a problem while trying to print them.  I created my profile part in Fusion 360, created a drawing of this part and moved it on to create a PDF so that I could print it on cardstock.  This looked good until I rechecked my template dimensions with a ruler only to find out that the part is not to scale.  Is there a setting in Fusion 360 that I need to set up to correct this problem with trying to print PDF files to scale?  Or should I be looking at something in the PDF file itself?  Please let me know.  Thanks.

If you are printing from Adobe Acrobat, make sure you select "Actual size" in the "Page Sizing & Handling" section of the Print dialog. I think "Fit" is the default and it will shrink the document so that an 8.5" x 11" pdf fits within the printable area of an 8.5" x 11" sheet of paper.
