Metric Conversion for Technical Drawings

[jwcnc1911]

Missed this...

JasonB, the initial question was conversion, second to that scaling. I'm not talking about scaling, simply conversion. If you want to build a part to print specs, then yes you turn a 1" shaft to 0.984, which would be 25mm.

I was simply answering conversion, that's easy. Scaling is a whole different beast any way. Like previously stated, scaling requires more than simple conversion anyway. You have to work out volume issues... blah blah blah.

I was simply answering conversion.

My bad.

I'm glad I asked. As usual, the devil is in the details.

I better get used to converting to Imperial units. It's just easier that way, and the original designs will work. Thanks for the interesting comments.
