If you start a drawing in one system of measurement (imperial or metric) and then want to switch to the other system, use SCALE to resize the model geometry by the appropriate conversion factor to obtain correct distances and dimensions.
- Click
. Find - At the Select Objects prompt, enter all.
- Enter a base point of *0,0.
Scaling will be relative to the world coordinate system (WCS) origin and the location of the drawing origin will remain at the WCS origin.
- Enter the scale factor. To convert from inches to centimeters enter 2.54 (there are 2.54 centimeters per inch). Or, to convert from centimeters to inches enter 0.3937 (the inverse of 2.54 centimeters per inch).
