** Hint for Onshape users: You can import a pdf page via Inkscape. Import the pdf page in Inkscape and save it out as dxf v14 file. Import that dxf file into Onshape. Start a new sketch. Add the dxf drawing to the sketch. Take a known distance between two points and call out a dimension between them. It will show the distance as it imported the drawing. You can now override that distance to the known distance and the whole dxf is now at scale. You can now overlay your own drawing while the endpoints will snap to the dxf points. Next, create a drawing within Onshape and add the sketch. You can then export that drawing back to a pdf and the scale is correct. | ** Hint for Onshape users: You can import a pdf page via Inkscape.

- Step 3: If you have issues printing the document to scale, try printing this file instead:Pushrodholes.pdf
- Note: HP laser printer drivers on Mac laptops may not print at the needed 1:1 scale, no matter what software you use or what you do in the print settings. Exact same file, printer and Adobe Reader are able to print at 1:1 scale on a Windows laptop. There might be an issue on Macs.
