From my personal experience it took me quite a while to grasp some import/export features FreeCAD offers. I would still say i am not half way done learning. ;)

Partially it could be documentation related and more could be done on making it more intuitive to use trough UX design but there is for sure another aspect of it and that is FreeCAD is feature rich importer/exporter and that involves and requires some end user learning too.

I am trying to export from freecad to inkscape to then onto CAM via a laser cutter or metal etching. So the size of the objects needs to be exactly the same.

I changed the option in the draft workbench to CAM and the export/imports are now perfect size.

Thanks all!!
