[postgis-users] DXF to Postgis using ogr

[Guglielmo Raimondi]

Hi Bob,
sorry for delay in answering.
Yes, Dxf2PostGis manage blocks like points and I don't plan (for the
moment) to develop extra code to do it in different way.
I'm not expert user of Org2org (I remember also a different name
"ogr2ogr") and I can't help you, sorry.
I can suggest you to explode blocks before use Dxf2PostGIS, if this is
compatible with your requirements.
In any case, good luck!
Please, tell me if you find a workaround to the trouble.
Guglielmo
