Making a generic capability to break out a layer into linestrings, polygons, points, and annotation is an excellent idea. If you recall, I tried to port over the capability to do this with the shapefiles version of SkyJUMP's enhanced Save Selected Datasets command. Perhaps the best way to do

What are the candidate features for xxx_text layer ? I'm not sure exactly. ESRI does it, so it must be smart, right? :-) I guess I was mostly thinking of DXF imported layers. I'm not sure it makes as much sense in a stand-alone plugin, but I'll give the use case a try: features that are

Hi Peppe, What about Kosmo DXF impost plugin? It seems to work as you describe. Yes it does, however, Kosmo has gone their own way. I looked at Kosmo when they released 1.0 with the intent of doing just what you suggest. Their code is just too different from the JUMP model. It is more like
