Forget about annotative.

So you created a new dimstyle, clicked on the Modify button, then clicked on the Primary Units tab and where it says Measurement Scale > Scale Factor you set this to 100.  Is that correct?  If you did then a dimension of 1 unit  would now read 100 units wouldn't it?  But you say it did not work.  That would only happen if you did NOT set the new dimstyle as Current.

You're doing all of this in model space aren't you?  Are the dimensions annotative?

Hi everyone I'm sure you have all been through this:
I'm used to drawing in m, I have a new project and drawings (to use as Xref) come in cm. I know how to scale a drawing to what I want, so I can start designing in cm.  Problem comes with the dimensions, when I incorporate the dims i usually use they don't work (they are set to m)
Is there a way to change the dimensions to what I need? I've tried to change the scale factor 100 but it doesn't do anything.
Any help would be much appreciated I don't want to have to draw all the dimensions from scratch.
I'm posting two images first is my drawing in M second in cm
