Scale up an entire drawing from 1:12 to 1:1

GreyGeek
I apologize in advance for my question, but I would dearly love to find a way to do this without having to re-enter the entire drawing.

I was given a surveyor's drawing of a piece of property, drawn at 1" = 1'.  I need to scale the drawing to true size 1:1.
Is there a way to change the scale via a LibreCAD tool, or must I re-enter the drawing?

Thanks in advance.

Modify - Scale is the right tool.

But why should a surveyor make a drawing of a property scaled 1:12 ? Much too large for a print out.
I suspect it was drawn with feet as units, not inches. This would explain the factor 12.

You are probably correct.
However, printout can be scaled separately I believe.  I am a bit of a newbie with LibreCAD

Yes, normally print scale is set separately. But sometimes you encounter drawings already scaled down in the file.
Could you solve the issue by the Scale tool?
