[Qgis-user] DXF Export issue

[Siki Zoltan]

Dear Russel,

you cannot export raster to dxf, it is available only for vector layers.
If your cad software can handle geoferenced raszter (e.g. AutoCAD Map), 
you needn't export it only open. Check your target software what raster 
formats are supported.

Regards,
Zoltan
