Can one override CAD dimensions?

I am using autocad to dimension a 3D model of a drill. The problem is the dimensions do not refelct real life dimensions. Is there a way to over ride the dimensions that cad uses and insert my own number instead?

I am now ready to print my layout however it does not print correctly. Half the border is missing and it is not fitted around the A4 sheet correctly. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

ok thanks I did this and it now prints the entire page but I cannot get an even gap between the border around the page. For example the gap between my border and the edge of the page on the right is twice that to the left.

Also does anyone know if there is a way to easily add text and numbers onto 3D objects. I want to put the chuck speed numbers on the chuck of the drill I have drawn. What is the best way to do this?
