is here a way to convert a drawing in X3 from metric to inches I drew in metric but now need inches

2 methods

1- scale drawing by 1/25.4 (0.03937) to got from metric to inch
2- change "System Configuration" from Metric to English

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.
