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
