[postgis-users] DXF to Postgis using ogr

[Bob Pawley]

Hi Guglielmo

I tried it a couple of weeks ago but it didn't import the block geometries 
nor the block text. It worked well with the non-block text and geometries.

I've managed to, with Org2org, import the whole DXF file but for some reason 
it appears to turn the block text into linestrings.

Have you try to use "dxf2postgis"?
It's a tool for Windows environment that convert DXF files (R11 and
R12 version) in SQL scripts for PostgreSQL+PostGIS.
In detail, text are converted in points with special attibutes (text,
size, rotation, font, etc.) that you can use to replay the AutoCad
graphic aspect in a desktop GIS like QGis.
This is a link:
