Millimeter to Inches

[Javy]

Hello,

How can I convert a millimeter .dxf file to inches ?

thanks

Scale up/down by 25.4.

Easy!!

If it comes in from the metric config, then change the config to inches and say yes to the scaling.

 

If not, then xform > scale would work.

 

mm to inch 1/25.4

inch to mm multiply x 25.4

mm to inch # x .03937

25.4 is an exact conversion where .03937 is not (but close enough for some).

sorry robh, i've seen that one bite too many people. use 25.4

Thanks for pointing that out,Ionly used that to covert one of my machines work offsets cause it was in metric and we needed inches. odd that all else on the machine was inches but that one work offset screen. I always use 25.4 to convert inch to mm. .. mm x .03937007874015748 and about a dozen more #'s is the formula to go mm to inch and unless your mm #'s are really large, close enough, or, as said ,1/25.4, much simpler..

They installed a buttons for that in Mastercam.

In the Transform tab, Scale.

Then at the bottom of the Basic tab in the section called Uniform on the right side there is two rulers one white converts to metric yellow converts to inch.
