To convert a drawing from inches to centimeters

  1. Click Home tab Modify panel Scale. At the Command prompt, enter scale.
  2. At the Select Objects prompt, enter all.

    All objects in the drawing are selected for scaling.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
