[Qgis-user] DXF Export symbolLayer

Hi,
Sorry if it has been said (I did not read every thing) but if I'm not wrong
there is an option to use field values and get split layers in output dxf
file. This is under the "Output layer attribute" column [0]. Unfortunately,
there is a bug (for many versions now) [1] that hides by default that
column in the dialog.
