[Qgis-user] Is DXF support dropped?

[Andreas Neumann]

if you use gdal 1.6 than there is no dxf support. I believe it was 
introduced in gdal 1.7. gdal 1.8 has more improvements regarding dxf, 
but QGIS does not use them yet.

There will be dxf-related improvements for reading dxf files later this 
year in QGIS, which will allow to read layers and styling, as well as 
text and blocks. There is already a sponsor for these improvements. 
You'd have to be patient for a couple of months, though.
