Autocad - Convert a file from millimeters to inches

In this tutorial I will explain how to convert a file from mm to inches.
I show 2 methods to convert that scale all your drawings. The 3rd method only converts the dimension lines, which can be enough in some cases.
Conversion factors:
1mm = 0.03937... inches
1 inch = 25.4 mm

Have you checked the Sample files that come when you install Autocad? Maybe there are some that maybe interest you!
To open sample files, on the application icon (topleft corner) go to Open -> Sample files.
