I have existing drawing that was in 1" scale. I would like to convert it to ft scale. For example, when I use "DI" command it will display 140". I have to use calculator to convert to ft which is 11'-8"

What is the easy way to do this?

TIA

i think that you mast scale drawing with rating ft/inch and in command unit choose ft like default.
