a problem with design size when plotting the design.

hi,i'm having troubles with a board design. The pads sizes and spaces are right but when i print the board, everything is a bit smaller.        I show you some captures where you can see my design parameters (if you can't see it right, click to zoom):

 

here you can see the grid setup (the  cells are separated 0.05 inches): img36.imageshack.us/.../clipboard01ocr.jpg   

here the package of the component (pitch  is 0.1 inches so it's two cells):  img14.imageshack.us/.../clipboard02vwg.jpg 

and here are the plot parameters:      img17.imageshack.us/.../clipboard01fjd.jpg

 

¿why the size footprint doesn't match with the component when i plot the design?

    it's not because of the grid settings. I tyed changin all spaces to 0.1 but the result was the same.
