Converting from Metric to Imperial in AutoCAD 2006

[jessdorion]

Hello
I am using AutoCAD 2006 and I was wondering whether anyone would know if you can convert a drawing from metric to imperial without having to redraw it.

Thanks

Hi Jessica,

How about the scale command?

Hi Todd

What do you need by the scale command. I'm fairly new to AutoCAD and am learning as I go. Do you mean to just scale it by 0.03937 or 1/25.4

Thanks
Jessica

Hi Jessica,

Yep you got it.

It should look something like this:

Command: scale

Select objects: all

Select objects: Press <Enter> here to terminate selecting

Specify base point: 0,0,0

Specify scale factor or [Reference]: 0.03937
