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

[Nicolas Cadieux]

Hi,

I will set others respond as I am currently updating my laptop to Linux. I only expect to have a working version of QGIS later today.

Being a spelunker in Montreal, I would like to volunteer for futur mapping project. Contact me directly if you need help.
