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

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Luc,

Can you share such a dxf with me?

As just written in my other mail (seconds ago), please also try the native
way of importing the DXF to a Geopackage through menu "Project -->
Import/Export --> Import Layers from DWG/DXF"
