+ | ===== How to convert from mm to inches ? ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Let's assume General Scale is set to 1. | ||
+ | This is for an intended print scale of 1: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Then to scale from mm to inches: | ||
+ | |||
+ | 1. Select all, by command (Tools - Select - Select All), or by pulling up a window around it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 2. Scale (Tools - Modify - Scale) | ||
+ | |||
+ | 3. Specify reference point, normally best 0,0. Enter. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 4. In the Scaling Options: | ||

+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | | ||
+ | |||
+ | 6. Adapt Dimensions. You could do it with General Scale 1/25.4, but better let it at 1 for possible later print scaling and change the size values individually. You can later use these settings for all your inches drawings. | ||
