I am using AUTOCAD14 for my electrical drawings, I am not expert but always trying to be good.

My problem is this that I received a drawing in mm units(matric), I want to change it in inch (english) system of units. Anyone who could help me to figure out this problem.

Thanks

Hi,
You have a couple of options:
1. You can insert/block the metric drawing into an english
drawing. Set the scale option to .03937007874 (1/25.4)
before you insert.
2. You can select the whole drawing and scale it as above.

I hope this helps. Steve Smith
