Welcome rosarosa to the forums.

 

1000 cm x .394 = 394 inches.

394" / 12 = 32.833 feet.

 

Scale the entire cm drawing x .394, you'll get inches.

 

I frequently convert inches to mm for clients outside of the US.

Not a big deal.

open a blank drawing.

go to tools>options>user preference> & under 'insertion scale', set 'source content unit' to 'cm' & 'target drawing unit' to 'inches'. Also make 'insunits' value '1'(inches) and

than bring in this exisitng drawing there using insert comand.
