How to convert European scale to Us scale

[staylorCBDUK]

Hello,

We are working on a project that has a 1:100 scale and want to convert to 1/8"=1'-0" scale.

Can anyone provide a scale conversion factor that has dealt with this before?

Hi Sherman,
1/8" * 96 = 1'0"

Here are some good reads:

is your drawing 1 unit = 1mm or 1 unit = 1 meter

Surely the scale of the drawing does not matter.

It is the drawing unit size which is important.

As others are saying. Scale is irrelevant. It's just a ratio. You need to change the units from metric to imperial. Most likely mm to inches.
