When Using a scanner do any of you have suggestions to make sure the part stays exactly the same size.

They key is to use a file format like PDF that keeps track of things like the scale. You'll want to use 150-300 dpi and save to PDF. To test the accuracy, scan, save, print, then compare the copy to the original. Either the scanning or the printing can distort or scale the copy in an undesirable way.
