[Qgis-user] export to dxf problem

[Reginald]

Hi Boaz,

When you open the dxf in autocad you need to connect to the geographical
data of the area of the drawing. In the taskpane there is a data icon. Click
on it and choose 'connect to data'. Next add a connection (shapefile or
postgres or wms or whatever is available for the area of your drawing.
Eventually after entering the correct information for your data (check if
CRS is corrrect), click connect, and next 'add to map'.
In autocad you will see your shapefile (or other dataprovider) data. Most
likely your drawing will not show up but if you zoom out untill you see the
x-y cross and zoom overthere that's most likely the place of your drawing.
Enter move, select basepoint and move the drawing to the right place. Rotate
and scale until your drawing fits in the right place. Save your dxf. Import
it in QGIS via the Project menu and it shows up in QGIS in the right place.

Regards,
