    Hello everyone
    I need to read dxf file and supply all the information to an
    application which displays the entities.
    I downloaded a library that reads these files but I am quite baffled
    regarding the units-On the one hand I read documentation that claims
    that the dxf files don't specify the units and the application should
    make guessing regarding it, on the other hand I read that the
    variables:$LUNITS (decimal...)and $AUNITS define the units (still they
    do not define the scaling:mm,cm....etc...) so I am quite confused and
    my question is -how can I know what the units are, and where is the
    origin of the axis .
    Thank u in advance
