Just confirmed to Luc that his dxf file imports just fine (both in 2D and 3D) and with layers. Andreas On Mon, 9 Nov 2020 at 17:12, Nicolas Cadieux wrote: > Hi, > > I will set others respond as I am currently updating my laptop to Linux. I > only expect to have a working version of QGIS later t

Hi, I will set others respond as I am currently updating my laptop to Linux. I only expect to have a working version of QGIS later today. Being a spelunker in Montreal, I would like to volunteer for futur mapping project. Contact me directly if you need help. Nicolas Cadieux > Le 9 nov. 2020

See https://docs.qgis.org/3.16/en/docs/user_manual/managing_data_source/opening_data.html#importing-a-dxf-or-dwg-file for the QGIS native way to import DXF, which also keeps the original layer structure. Andreas On Mon, 9 Nov 2020 at 16:25, Andreas Neumann wrote: > Hi Luc, > > Can you share suc

Hi Luc, QGIS has two ways of importing/exporting DXF: - the native QGIS way (uses the libdxfrw library and can be accessed in QGIS through menu "Project --> Import/Export --> Import Layers from DWG/DXF") - and through the OGR library (using the menu Layer --> Add Layer --> Add Vec

The attributes are a core component of many spatial operations and QGIS is very adept at manipulating them. You can style layers, query/ filter layers or perform split and aggregation operations using the attribute values. For your purposes, perhaps start by just splitting layers by the relevant a

That's our impression too, as QGIS ends up with (3) layers of shapes, lines and text. The problem is that this line layer is a bulk merge of several DXF layers representing different things (line plot, passage widths, walls, etc.) that the user would like to toggle (hide/show) or even exclude from

I think the DXF is just split by geometry type, but you should be able to access the "layer" information via the attributes. On Mon, 9 Nov 2020 at 16:24, Luc Le Blanc wrote: > Hi, > > My cave survey freeware exports DXF files organized in multiple layers > for survey stations, station names, lin

Hi, My cave survey freeware exports DXF files organized in multiple layers for survey stations, station names, line plot, wall lines, etc. A user tells me that when he imports this DXF into QGIS, everything gets merged into 3 layers containing station markers (small triangles). lines (line plot,
