drawings were created by an intern and they are all scaled incorrectly. They said they made parts using correct dimensions but everything is small example 8" shows as 3.15" how can I re-scale parts? I am not very familiar with Fusion but I think they had a wrong setting when they were being created.

Looks like it might be a CM to Inches problem, 8cm is about 3.15 inches. Where are you seeing this problem, are you exporting the parts. Can you share a problem file as an F3D exported from Fusion?

I think that is the problem, I can share a file bu t not sure where to send it? What do you think is the best way to fix 100 files changing from CM to inches?

I'd just like to check that the design is definitely in CM.
If you expand the document settings in the browser do the designs have the units set to CM?
If that is the case you really only have 2 options. One would be to scale the parts up by 2.54 or I'm afraid you'll need to redo from scratch.
Are the designs singe parts or assemblies? If you have assemblies scaling might be difficult. I guess you could just change the units then work along the timeline and change all the sizes but that will be tedious but not quite as bad as starting from scratch.
Also you better check what your preferences are set to so you don't create more designs in the wrong units.

Mark,
Thank you for the info. I am able to rescale but need to do each drawing. Better than starting over!!!!
Much appreciated!
