Change existing drawing from inches to met...

Hello,
I have a drawing which I have designed in Inches. I want to change that existing drawing to be in metric (millimeters)... and also have the dimensions now be viewed as milimeters.
I can't figure out how to do that! I don't want to just show an alternate unit of measure. I actually want to change the whole drawing, without having to start all over.
Please help!!
Thx,
Veigh Andrews

Hello,
use the "Scale" command, select your drawing and do 25.4 for the scale factor

Hi,
current units can be changed to architectural in UNITS dialog, dimension units - in DIMSTYLE for current dimension style in Primary Units tab.
