I have no desire to learn how to use AutoCAD 2010. However, I have house plans created using imperial units. I need to easily convert everything to metric once and I will never need to use AutoCAD again in my life.
Line lengths are in the format (example): 6'-10 1/4"
I want the text to display as (example): 209 cm
How can I do this? I was able to successfully do as prescribed in the online help, but the length text still shows imperial. Please tell me there is an easier way (automagic method) other than manually editing all the displayed text...
Performed OK:
To convert a drawing from inches to centimeters
Click Modify Scale. At the Command prompt, enter scale.
At the Select Objects prompt, enter all.
All objects in the drawing are selected for scaling.
Enter a base point of *0,0.
Scaling will be relative to the world coordinate system origin and the location of the drawing origin will remain at the WCS origin.
Enter a scale factor of 2.54 (there are 2.54 centimeters per inch).
All objects in the drawing are now 2.54 times larger, corresponding to the equivalent distance in centimeters. |
