Resize imported dxf file

[PJ01]

Hello, I  purchased a T-rex .dxf file from Etsy, and imported it into my AutodCAD 2020. It was a huge drawing, in imperial measurements.

I  drew a box around it to  show dimensions, and in DIMSTYLE selected Alternative units with a 25.4 multiplier to show metric dimensions.

Can anyone please tell me how to resize this drawing to about A3 size ( 300 x 200)

Is it possible to import it into a template which will show it in metric immediately?

Many thanks for your help

Use the Scale Command.

Trex dxf_01_SCALED.dwg

Thank you for this, will follow up on SCALE. Never used it before. Do you select the whole drawing?
Is there any way I  acan import a drawing in feet and inches into a template that will show the drawing in metric millimetres?

Select what you want to scale

You could also -INSERT it into a blank drawing applying the scale either in the -INSERT command or by picking the block and modifying the scale in Properties.

If this is something you'll be doing a lot get familiar with the INSUNITS, INSUNITSDEFSOURCE and  INSUNITSDEFTARGET System Variables. There's at least three ways to do anything in AutoCAD.
