How to Convert mm to feet in AutoCAD 2015 drawing is very simple as explained below.
Firstly open the file containing the drawing which has mm unit.
Now, make the Write Block (WBLOCK) of the entire drawing.
Please observe the procedure to make the WBLOCK:
Methods to access the command
Go to insert> Write Block or Key in from the command prompt: WBLOCK
Once the write block window is opened see that source option is set to entire drawing
Now provide the Destination of the path where the wblock has to be saved. Means choose the file name and path (Drive>Directory or file name) of the wblock.
Lastly create a new drawing file to see How to Convert mm to feet in AutoCAD 2015.
Here in this new file, before inserting the wblock which is made in the other file kindly check the units. About the different options of the Drawing Units is already discussed in the post “Drawing Units in AutoCAD 2015”.
Here in the Units make sure that the available “insertion scale” that is the units to scale the inserted content is set to feet.
Usually it will be in millimeters. Change from millimeters to feet in the window of the drawing units and click OK in the window of the drawing units.
Finally insert the write block (wblock). Steps to insert the write block:
1. Go to the insert menu and choose insert or type the command insert in the command prompt.
Leave the default values of insertion point, scale and rotation.
Make sure that the explode option which is present at the extreme bottom left corner of the insert window is “on”. This controls the mm drawing file which is inserted to be in its original form. It means entire entities in the drawing file do not group together. Instead while inserting all the entities in the mm drawing file gets exploded and maintains its individuality.
