Hi
Exporting vector symbology from QGIS, I encountered problems with (line
width) units in the dxf export.
Setting a style string in mm (e.g. 'PEN(c:#0000ff,w:5mm'), the dxf
driver converts the 5 mm to 0.005 ground units, then multiplies that by
100 (most likely because in dxf, one width unit is 1/100 mm). This seems
strange to me, shouldn't the driver treat mm as paper units (instead as
ground units) and just multiply the mm by 100?
Thanks,
Marco
