[Qgis-user] Export to vector file failed. Error: creation of data source failed (OGR error:Failed to open 'Convex Map Alma.dxf' for writing.)

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Joshua,

Did you know that there is a separate "DXF export" function that is 
available in the "Project" menu? This is a much more powerful export 
than through the Right click "Save AS" function.

However, if your data is broken it won't work either. But it may be 
worth a try.
