It would actually be very nice if the georeferencer tool in QGIS could also handle vector layers. I would assume that much of the code from the existing georeferencer could be re-used to also make vector georeferencing work.

I think it is annoying that one cannot easily transform vector data usign a couple of match-points.

I have a building and roads plan done in a cad package and want to

fixed points on the .dxf file and get accurate gps readings for these points but am wondering how to do the conversion in qgis? If it were a raster image then it would be a simple matter of georeferencing the
image but I want to keep the vector format so that its possible to
edit and layer with other maps of the area.

I do this kind of work directly in the CAD app where you can copy and
paste to coordinate, then all the features are correctly georeferenced
and I only have to deal with the import process and apply the
corresponding projection.
