RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] How do I draw a file in imperial, then convert it to metric in AutoCAD?

HI Peter,

You should be able to use the "scale" function of a CAD program. In Vector
CAD/CAM, I select the entire drawing, "Cut" and "paste" back at a different
scale. AutoCAD should have a similar feature.
