It's kind of a wsiwyg problem. For example, I have a svg image from a dxf with world coordinates so the image itself is very tiny when brought into Inkscape - I can zoom it up on the screen but then I want to print the "zoomed" display image, not the tiny original image - maybe that is called fitting display to page ? And I forgot - it would also be very helpful to export the image in the zoomed display size, again, a tiny image on the png is not what I, as user, needs, I want what I'm seeing on the display. Hope this is more clear.
Zoom in, select the object, and scale it out as much as possible. Then soom out a bit, and scale it as much as possible again. Keep doing this until it fills the page. You have to realise that you're drawing on a page in Inkscape. What you see on the screen when zooming is like taking a magnifying glass and looking at a tiny bit of that page: the page doesn't change, just how you see it.
