atlas ho track template problem?

I've been using the atlas HO code 100 track templates for a while but have not started my ctual layouot. I did layout a simple switching and DCC programming track and discovered that the template dimension are off by a factor of two! A no 4 switch is nine inches long. The one inserted by using the templtes is almost 1'-11" long?? Has anyone else had this problem? This would make it impossible to create an accurate layout?
TIA,
Greg
P.S. attached are actual dim's vs program!

It looks like you've set the software to centimeters!
As one inch is 2.54cm, that explains the difference.
Please open the Settings tab ands change the measurement system to inches.
Next, change the grid settings to something sensible in inches, as now you have a 12cm grid.
