Dxf Drawing Units / Line weight

    I wondering where in a .dxf file the drawing units are specified?
    Where do I find what units or measurement the file/ drawing is in? So
    if I'm given a line thickness of 0.29, I can accurately draw the line
    size. Is this indicated by the $INSUNITS header?
    Thanks for any info.

    INSUNITS only defines a unit for blocks, wich are drag&droped via
    Design Center. The block is scaled with a factor that depends on the
    settings of INSUNITS in the source and in the target drawing. But it
    has no effect to the units in the actual dwg/dxf
