I take a look at ogr2ogr right now but I'm affraid this conversion isn't 
support. I have found following information 
http://lists.maptools.org/pipermail/gdal-dev/2006-January/007565.html and 
here i see that is possibility only to write dxf files by ogr2ogr.
Right now I have managed to  convert file from dxf file to csv file and next 
I had sent it to postgis. But the problem is the way of representing data in 
this new creaeted table. I have many of column:

ogc_fid| wkb_geometry | field_1 | field_2  |   field_3    | field_4 | 
field_5  | field_6 | field_7  |  field_8  | field_9 | field_10  | field_11 | 
field_12 | field_13 | field_14
         1|              | #       | 0-ENTITY | 1-VALUE      | 2-NAME  | 
5-HANDLE | 8-LAYER | 10-X     | 20-Y      | 30-Z    | 40-RADIUS | 41-SZ_X  | 
42-SZ_Y  | 43-SZ_Z  |

but the wkb_geometry column is empty... Of course i can try to take 
information from x,y,z but it is a little bit complicated.

Also on the second page http://scratchcomputing.com/projects/uber-converter/ 
i haven't found the solution of my problem.



..sum up I think there is still no solution for it. The interesting 
information i get also from 
http://lists.maptools.org/pipermail/gdal-dev/2005-July/006008.html


but thanks for willingness!

regards
   Wojciech,
