Hi Paolo, Werner Additionally to the version consideration, I'd suggest to keep the plugin in the source until we have sound feedback from a few dxf powerusers. Because matching dxf to GIS is difficult (multilayers, labels, different feature types can be in one layer). So accessing dxf via

Hi Jürgen but I'd expect OGR to present a layer list (organized by DXF layers and geometry types) The layers are not organised by geometry type (this is also true for other OGR formats). Maybe, from QGIS side, it needs a similar approach as for the PostGIS tables without entries in

Hi! Yes, we could allow to set a geometry type and skip all features with a different geometry type or better return an empty geometry instead - to get the feature count right. Or we could extent the layers to have three renderers - one for each geometry type. We recently added NoGeometry -

Hi all. I checked today, and I saw that reading DXF through gdal 1.7 works reasonably well. Wouldn't it be better then to drop the dxf2shape plugin, who has no maintainer and a few bugs? All the best. -- http://www.faunalia.it/pc ___ Qgis-developer
