Scale size

I'm working with autocad LT 2021.  Is there a way to see what scale a drawing is in?

You should be drawing at 1:1 scale all the time: are you not?
Otherwise you need to know the true dimension of something in the drawings, then measure it, and work out what scale it is.

I was just curious, we get dxf's in from customer and sometimes they are not to scale.  Didn't if there was a way to see what scale size they used.

Thanks for the update: only way to do that is to have a known dimension of measurement in the DXF file (and what unit it is using, mm or inch or cm or foot or meter or ...).
