[gdal-dev] ogr2ogr dxf multilinestring as block

[Alan Thomas]

Hi Andrew,

I'm assuming here that you are converting from another format to DXF.

The writer ignores DXF_INLINE_BLOCKS; this configuration option is
only used by the reader. To create blocks, you must place the features
that will compose the block on the "blocks" layer. (Clearly the format
that you are converting from must support multiple layers.) Be sure to
use the Block field instead of BlockName in GDAL 2.3+. Then, on the
"entities" layer, place POINT geometries, with the Block field
likewise set, at the positions where you want the block to be
inserted.
