Your web browser can open and print SVGs. Use that to calibrate the scale and update it in OpenSCAD (print a square and measure it, then adjust in OpenSCAD) You can make a 2d porjection by using the projection() function.

actually I solved it by using the export image function after viewing the right angle and removing the crosshairs and then resizing in gimp to 10 px per mm and auto cropping the image so I ended up with a 3500x4041 px image that is the right scale. 35 cm x 40.41cm which is the perfect size for a hexagon with a 202mm side. so let's mark this as solved but a function to export the image to scale would be good.

You should maybe consider downloading and learning InkScape in the time it takes to do all this trial and error stuff, and have a purpose designed program for 2-D, sub-millimetre accuracy printouts straight off the bat. It will also be very handy for you to feed 2D work back into OpenScad.
