+The dxf2shape converter plugin allows to convert vector data from DXF to Shapefile 
+format. It is very simple to handle and provides following functionality as 
+shown in Figure \ref{fig:dxf2shape_dialog}.
 
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \textbf{Input DXF file}: Enter path to the DXF file to be converted
+\item \textbf{Output Shp file}: Enter desired name of the shape file to be created
+\item \textbf{Output file type}: specifies the type of the output Shapefile. Currently supported is polyline, polygone and point.
+\item \textbf{Export text labels}: If you enable this checkbox, an additional Shapefile points layer will be created, and the associated dbf table will contain information about the "TEXT" fields found in the dxf file, and the text strings themselves.
+\end{itemize}

+\begin{enumerate}
+  \item Start QGIS, load the Dxf2Shape plugin in the Plugin Manager (see Section 
+  \ref{sec:load_core_plugin}) and click on the \toolbtntwo{dxf2shp_converter}{Dxf2Shape Converter} 
+  icon which appears in the QGIS toolbar menu. The Dxf2Shape plugin dialog appears as shown in Figure \ref{fig:dxf2shape_dialog}.
+  \item Enter input DXF file, a name for the output Shapefile and the Shapefile type.
+  \item Enable the \checkbox{Export text labels} checkbox, if you want to create an extra point layer with labels.
+  \item Click \button{Ok}.
