English translation:true-to-scale drawing
Explanation:
Kluwer Werktuigbouwkunde WB says for uitslag in the technical drawing context:
plan on full size (and in German: maßstabgetreue Zeichnung), and maßstabgetreu means 'true to scale'.

A true-to-scale drawing might a full-size drawing if the drawn object is small enough to fit on the drawing sheet, but generally it means that the drawing is an accurately scaled representation of the object.
