    Depends what units your in to start with.

    If your in Metric and want it to be in inches, just change the system config to a metric configuration (Settings - Configuration - bottom of the dialog box says "current").

    If your in Inches and drew it with Metric numbers, then do the Scaling thing that Superman recommends.
