[Qgis-user] DXF Export symbolLayer

[Richard McDonnell]

Hi Simon,
You don't mention the field name in QGIS, but in the example below, I will use "TEST"
Create a new field, giving it a name, it can be "RefName" if you like, you can then create an expression like

CASE WHEN " TEST " ='symbolLayer0' THEN 'SomeOtherStringA'
WHEN " TEST " ='symbolLayer1' THEN 'SomeOtherStringB'
END

This should look at the "TEST" Attribute and where it has 'symbolLayer0' it will output 'SomeOtherStringA' and where "TEST" is 'symbolLayer1' it will output 'SomeOtherStringB'
When its complete you can delete any attributes you don't need
I hope that helps,

Regards,

Richard

Subject: [Qgis-user] DXF Export symbolLayer


Hi all,



I am trying to configure a DXF export using the native:dxfexport algorithm and layer symbology.



Using the categorized rendering for a vector layer results in values "symbolLayer0", "symbolLayer1", ... in the dxf-file. In Autodesk Viewer these values are the "Name", ArcMap imports these as "RefName" attribute.



My question: how can I modify the values symbolLayer0, symbolLayer1, ... to another string? A third-party tool requires special values here.



Best regards
Simon
