[Qgis-developer] Improving DXF to SHAPE Plugin

[Bruce, Bob (CON)]

I tried using this plugin the other day and found that a lot of
important DXF element attributes were missing. Is there currently a way
to get things like the layer name and the textstring imported into the
SHAPE files using this plugin?

If there is not, are there any plans to extend this plugin to do this?
If help is needed to work on improving this plugin, I would be
interested in lending a hand since I am keen on seeing this
functionality added.
