Couldn't get the dxf output to work, but using this from del...@gmail.com<mailto:del...@gmail.com> seems to have done it, the key was the 'output layer attribute' hiding off to the right: https://docs.qgis.org/3.28/en/docs/user_manual/managing_data_source/create_layers.html#creating-new-dxf-files

The only issue is that you will have a series of separate Layers which you will have to manually merge into a single dxf file. One other consideration would be, splitting the single layer by attribute in QGIS as separate Layers and then exporting the Project..... Sorry I can't be of more help, there's probably a way, using Python, to carry out the split and write out a single DXF, but I can't help you there.

I can do this by export project to dxf, but it comes through with one CAD layer per shapefile. I need to have the shapefile come through as different CAD layers according to one of the attribute fields. Example: Shapefile contains many polygons, the attribute field 'colour' of each polygon can be red, blue, green etc. I need it to get it into CAD with a layer for the red polygons, one for the blue, one for green etc Running QGIS 3.16.11 Hannover Any help appreciated Chiz Harward BA MCIfA he/him Senior Archaeologist, Urban Archaeology I work flexibly - so whilst it suits me to email now, I do not expect a response or action outside of your own working hours http://urban-archaeology.blogspot.com<http://urban-archaeology.blogspot.com/> https://www.facebook.com/urb.arch/ http://gloscross-slabs.blogspot.co.uk/ Urban Archaeology 2 Slad View, Gaineys Well, Stroud, Gloucestershire GL5 1LQ 07881 486837 c...@urban-archaeology.co.uk<mailto:c...@urban-archaeology.co.uk> Urban Archaeology is a trading name of Chiz Harward BA MCIfA
