Are you in UCS WORLD?
Are you using Associative dimensions?
Is your 3D model displaying in PERSPECTIVE, as opposed to Parallel?
PERSPECTIVE = 0 at the commandline?

Working in AutoCAD 2010...
Recently I've started to notice that the dimensions on my print are not exactly aligned with the model/object. Only the dimensions seem to be shifted slightly in two directions (~1mm?). On screen, everything looks great.
Typically, I design 3d parts (model tab), then in the layout tab set up viewports (mview), and dimension in paper space...
Is there some paperspace offset I may have inadvertently invoked?

Volume and repetition do not validate opinions forged in the absence of thought.
Can you post a sample file that exibits this behavior?
(only need a cube or something simple)

Thanks all - sorry for the slow reply, been out in the shop making chips fly...
Here is a quick part I'm modifying this morning - 2 images. The first is a screenshot of the plot preview, the second is a scan of the print (printer is a modern HP Officejet 7500A). I also tacked on a screenshot of the Plot Options Box.

UCS World - Yes, I dimension everything in the layout tab; paperspace
Associative dimensions - DIMASSOC = 1 (I've never altered the default setting)
PERSPECTIVE = 0 (read only)
** PERSPECTIVE only valid in Model Space **
Screenshot prior to plotting:
Scanned print - notice the dimensions are offset down/left:

Actually, we were hoping for an actual DWG file not just the images. Much easier to troubleshoot a drawing than it is an image.
