I did this recently using the GRASS command v.transform.pointsfile from the Processing Toolbox in QGIS. No need to actually go into GRASS and create mapsets.<br>
<br>
This worked really well for me for unreferenced DXFs. If you need any more info let me know.<br>

Ok, thanks. I'm installing QGIS on W7 yet again, trying to achieve better functionality. That is a challenge in itself, prone to wrong turns. Hopefully the VectorGeoref will then work.<br>
<br>
This whole install process is a real piece of work . . . . .<br>
<br>
Thanks again, cheers . . . . Spring Harrison<br>
