An external reference is a separate file. You may possibly need this file. It could help if you explained the steps you are using to import the file and your version of QGIS. The version of the dwg would also help as QGIS is picky on the dwg file version. If I recall, you can import a dwg as a file or under the project menu. I would use the project menu. If you have access to AutoCAD, change the file to a DXF. An other option is to do that with FME. If it’s for a none commercial use, they have a « free » version made for learning.</div><div><br></div><div>Nicolas Cadieux</div><div><div dir="ltr"><div><a href="https://gitlab.com/njacadieux">https://gitlab.com/njacadieux</a></div></div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">Le 18 mars 2022 à 03:00, manuela re via Qgis-user <qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org> a écrit :<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div class="ydp5078e2f1yahoo-style-wrap" style="font-family:Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;"><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><div><div><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><span style="color: rgb(32, 33, 36); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 28px; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: rgb(248, 249, 250);">I have to import a layer into qgis that surely has blocks but if I use the 'expand blocks' function qgis doesn't matter, it ignores it. how can I do?</span><br></div></div></div><div class="ydp5078e2f1signature"><div style="font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;"><span></span><br></div><div style="font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;" dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Thank's for help</div><div style="font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;" dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div style="font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;" dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">manuela </div></div></div><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>Qgis-user mailing list</span><br><span>Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org</span><br><span>List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user</span><br><span>Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user</span><br></div></blockquote></div></div></body></html>
