[Qgis-user] DXF import

[Justin Fischer]

Hi list,

I've read that there is a DXF to Shapefile converter (e.g.,
http://www.nabble.com/dxf2Shp-plugin-td16357138.html and
https://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/ticket/1269 ).  I have not yet been able to
find a plugin in Metis on Ubuntu Hardy that will work with DXF files.
The only workaround I've seen is to use gvSIG, then bring the shapefiles
to QGIS.  Can someone please direct me?

Thank you,

Justin
