: One always could do this by using a relatively quick work around:
: presumably you start with a metric model that you wish to become
: imperial and at the right scale. . .
: 1) in the metric model export a .part file.
: 2)open a new file in imperial with the least amt. of data - I use
: only 2pts in ea direction so I can delete that data easily.
: 3)In this new imperial file, import the metric .part file. It comes
: in with all the layers, plus is now scaled correctly for
: imperial!
: 4)delete the large surface. And delete its layer sometime down the
: road.
: Now the old metric model is at the right size, with original
: layers, but in imperial. I'm sorry, but i haven't looked at the
: other characteristics (like layer colour and developability,
: etc), but they are fairly simple to reintroduce, if required.

: this seems to work upwards from freeship2.6 to delftship3free or
: delftship4free.
Forgot to lead off with imperial to metric as that actually was the question, heh heh. But it works exactly the same:
In imperial model, export part file. In new metric model, import part. Delete extraneous data in new metric model. Desired scale is retained.
