How to shape eagle pcb outline

I have a similar question.  I have already built the complete board (no schematic) and everything is perfect from a sizing perspective.  I thought things were all in 1MM increments on the grid but it ends up being in 10MM increments.  How do I either directly reduce the complete BRD file by 90% (board sizes now 25in x 12.5in and it actually should be 2.5in x 1.25).  If not able to do it in the software, after I input the Gerbers can I make a change to the Gerber file that will downsize all by 90%?

Thx in advance.

Can you clarify that everything is 10 times to big?

The traces, the pads, text.

Please confirm that there are no library components used.

If you could zip up the board file and post it here, that would be a better

way to get an solution

I loaded the zip file up.  It is named HARNESSFINAL_20140214.ZIP.  I also put a tag of GH:BRD on it and it was also placed under the group Eagle Workshop along with requiring a sign on to view.  Could not find out how to attach it directly to this reply.  My email is ghzmanl2@gmail.com if you want me to send it to you directly via email.

When I create the Gerbers and view them it indicates the complete board is 10X the size desired (roughly 25IN X 12.5IN).  I desire to board to be just under 2.5IN X 1.25IN.  I have had several prototypes created and the company was good enough to shrink everything down by 90%.  I have a few minor changes and want everything to be scaled properly via Eagle so no problems arise when I ask for 100s of boards.  No components were used, the pcb was built from scratch.  When I built it I selected a 1MM grid but it looks like it was a 10MM grid.  All  my measurements of the components I am using were based on MM thus the selection of using MM vs IN.  Thx in advance.

I have looked further into this and the idea of a Gerber mismatch.  The

problem is that the Gerber is output in inches (the header indicates

that).

Anyway, I now see that Warren has looked at your Eagle data (I couldn't

find it so was working on assumptions) and it seems the Gerber isn't the

problem anyway. I'm puzzled how you managed to make a 10* scaled PCB

design but if you have then that's what you want to fix.
