Converting metric to standard

Hello.
I am a newbie here, and to AutoCad LT 2004. I am trying to convert a CAD drawing of an undermount sink, that is in millimeters, to inches. When I bring in their drawing into a new drawing for me, it keeps the metric number, but it is in inches. So instead of it being 31 1/2" long, it is 770 inches long. I could really use the help please. Thanks, SKylar.

Scale the drawing up, switch to your non-metric dimstyle,
update the dimensions.

There is no auto-fix in AutoCAD.

Thank you for the response. Don't laugh at my next question. LOL. How do you update? I found the dimension style and changed it, but I don't know how to update it. Thanks again, Skylar.
