Dear Russel,

you cannot export raster to dxf, it is available only for vector layers.
If your cad software can handle geoferenced raszter (e.g. AutoCAD Map), you needn't export it only open. Check your target software what raster formats are supported.

Regards,
Zoltan

Greetings! First post here.

I'm having trouble successfully exporting to DXF. These are my steps:

  1. In QGIS, choose Layer>Add Layer>Add Raster Layer
  2. I select an .lbl file next to an associated .img file that I got from
  the Mola Mars data here
  
<http://pds-geosciences.wustl.edu/mgs/mgs-m-mola-5-megdr-l3-v1/mgsl_300x/meg128/>
  .
  3. A height map successfully appears in the viewer window.
  4. I choose Project>DXF Export and leave the settings at default.
  5. I get an exported DXF, but it is basically empty. 16 kb and only 2700
  lines of what mostly looks like header data. I'm unable to import it into
  3ds Max, getting an error on import about an incorrect sequence.

These three files can be downloaded here
<https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B65j6EIp4zMQVzExQy1sWFVsOWs/view?usp=sharing>
if anyone wants to look at them.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
