[Qgis-user] DXF file & geometry

[Andreas Neumann]

 Hi,

 Unfortunately there is not proper DXF support currently for reading DXF 
 files. QGIS only allows one geometry type per data source. The OGR dxf 
 driver delivers multiple geometry types. QGIS just picks the first one 
 that OGR delivers (could be point, lines and polygons). There needs to 
 be some work done regarding the geometry types and the styling.

 For writing dxf it is actually better - but exporting styles is also 
 not possible currently.

 Sorry that I don't have better news,
 Andreas
