Altering already set dimensions

I recently imported a Solidworks drawing of a manfufacturing plant's layout into Draftsight to complete it. However, I am new to draftsight and cannot figure out how to change the dimensions of entities that have already been drawn. Also, the scale of the drawing is 1:100 (from the solidworks drawing), so every time I make a new entity (e.g. a square) and define its dimensions using the command line the horizontal and vertical dimensions 100 times larger than they are meant to be, one solution is to just divide my intended dimension by 100 and enter that, but surely there is a way that I can change all the old dimensions, so entering a new dimension will come out correct.
