    Converting drawing in mm to inches

    I had to draw out a part in mm, now I'd like to cut it out using standard 1/4 and 1/8 endmills. Cambam wont seem to convert my mm drawing into inches. Is there a way to do this?

    Thanks,

    You can just scale the drawing up/down when converting between imp and metric units (as per Jalessi). In your case you can also just convert the imp measurements of your end mill to metric.

    Unless you have other reasons to convert your drawing to inches, just tell CamBam you have 6.35mm and 3.175mm endmills instead of 1/4" and 1/8".

    edit: oops, sorry, somehow stumbled upon a year old post.
