You can also use the processing toolbox, search for split and you should be able to access the tool.

Thanks all, will try and do this as soon as I can get the Vector drop down list to actually drop down... is there a keyboard shortcut to get to the options? Ctrl+O isn't working

Hi Chiz,
The only thing I can think of is Split Vector Layer (Vector => Data Management) that will allow you to split your Layer by attribute, outputting a DXF for each layer.
The only issue is that you will have a series of separate Layers which you will have to manually merge into a single dxf file.

One other consideration would be, splitting the single layer by attribute in QGIS as separate Layers and then exporting the Project.....
Sorry I can't be of more help, there's probably a way, using Python, to carry out the split and write out a single DXF, but I can't help you there.
Kind Regards,

Richard

Subject: [Qgis-user] Convert .shp to CAD, with attribute values as different layers

Hallo, I have a shapefile that has attributes and need to convert this to a CAD file. I can do this by export project to dxf, but it comes through with one CAD layer per shapefile. I need to have the shapefile come through as different CAD layers according to one of the attribute fields.

Example: Shapefile contains many polygons, the attribute field 'colour' of each polygon can be red, blue, green etc. I need it to get it into CAD with a layer for the red polygons, one for the blue, one for green etc

Running QGIS 3.16.11 Hannover
Any help appreciated
