[Qgis-user] importing Text from dxf file

[Siki Zoltan]

Dear Andreas,

a quick workaround to get text angle and height, I've written a gawk 
script, which makes csv file from the TEXT entities in a DXF file.
CSV can be loaded to QGIS as delimited text layer.
Angle and height columns can be used in labelling.

Best Regards,
Zoltan
