To convert a drawing from centimeters to inches

  1. If necessary, click the Model tab to make the Model tab current.
  2. Click Modify menu Scale.
  3. At the Select Objects prompt, enter all.

    All objects in the drawing are selected for scaling.

  4. Enter a base point of *0,0.

    Scaling is performed relative to the world coordinate system origin, and the location of the drawing origin will remain at the WCS origin.

  5. Enter a scale factor of 0.3937 (the inverse of 2.54 centimeters per inch).

    All objects in the drawing are now smaller, corresponding to the equivalent distance in inches.
