[Qgis-user] Keeping layers of an imported DXF file into QGIS

[Luc Le Blanc]

That's our impression too, as QGIS ends up with (3) layers of shapes,
lines and text. The problem is that this line layer is a bulk merge of
several DXF layers representing different things (line plot, passage
widths, walls, etc.) that the user would like to toggle (hide/show) or
even exclude from the import. Just knowing the layer of origin is not
sufficient. Can QGIS act upon these attributes other than just showing
them? (I'm not a QGIS user, just researching for an Auriga user who
asked me).
