Exactly what do you want to convert ?
Just the drawing entitys or more or everything. ?
What have you tried ?
... and what are you doing manually .. exactly ?

Ok, like this.
I'm working on drawing that using MM as a default unit.
I want to insert drawing from other consultant that using inches or feet as their default units.
When I insert their drawing to my drawing, the drawing become to small and I must scale it up to match with my drawing.

So, is there a way that I can do so that drawing automatically become in same units/scale with my drawing when I'm insert it?

Look into the INSUNITS, INSUNITSDEFSOURCE, and INSUNITSDEFTARGET sytem variables.
