since the output format has not been specified or indicated, I am going to assume that you are probably using dxf output.

If you are using dxf output, then I would recommend upgrading to the most recent version. The output dxf scaling was changed in rev 15590 in response to Bug 1672066
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/trunk/revision/15590
and rev 15469 in response to Bug 1660967
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/trunk/revision/15469
to deal with scaling problems.

You can get the latest version of this output by downloading it from
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~inkscape.dev/inkscape/trunk/files/head:/share/extensions/

You will need to download the files: dxf_outlines.py, dxf_outlines.inx, and inkex.py
and place them in the directory:
\Program Files xxx\Inkscape\share\extensions\

To be on the safe side, make a backup copy of these three files before you replace them with the new versions. If the new version continues to give problems, then attach the appropriate svg files and dxf files here so that we can diagnose the problem. Note that the new versions assume that the default resolution in Inkscape is 96 dpi, which is different than the previous 90 dpi.
