I just received a set of AutoCad plans in centimeters.
I need them in feet and inches.
Is there anyway that a novice like me can convert these automatically? Are there some simple steps to do this?
Or do I have to labor through my conversion calculator and then remake all the plans in PDF and insert the inches/feet?
Thanks

Use the scale command and scale "all" to grab everything in model space then use the conversion factor of 0.3937008. Set your ddunits to Architectural and everything should be fine.
I use some freeware software converter for most of conversion which could be helpful for you too and can be found at
