How to convert units / resize?

A member in my project team has foolishly been modelling in ProE wildfire 5.0 in INCHES (thinking he was using millimeters), whereas the rest of the team have used millimeters.

So when we've come to combine our assemblies, his assembly is 25.4 times too large! As hilarious as this looks, we need to fix it.

Is there a way he can convert his models to mm, but keep the numerical values of his dimensions? i.e. a length is currently 130inches, and we want it to end up as 130mm.

Any ideas much appreciated, apologies for noob-ish question...

Cheers.
 
In WF4:
Edit-Setup-Units
Pick your system of units (mmNs), press "set"
Then you have two options, pick "interpret dimensions" that will change 1" to 1mm
