Is it possible to scale all dimensional constraints, for example by a factor of 1000 bigger or smaller?

I have a sketch that contains a triangular grid consisting of points with dimensional constraints between them to set the spacing. The triangles vary in size as I created it by surveying a plot of land using a tape measure.
I would like to make this bigger, actually a 1000 times bigger as I picked the wrong unit "mm" instead of "m".
As far as I can tell using the "modify > sketch scale" feature expands/contracts the distance between the points but erases the dimensional constraints instead of scaling them by the scale factor.
I tried using the "Modify > Change parameters" feature but that results in multiple calculation errors. Presumably to make this work you have to manually do the changes in an order that doesn't cause any constraint violations? Is that right?
I though parametric modelling was supposed to easily allow you to scale designs without losing information?
