Hi Marc,
</div>
<div>
Did you import the dxf via import-tool (onboard or „another dxf importer“-plugin) or drag and drop?
</div>
<div>
An import tool usually gives you a better import result of your layers (filters and groups them) and, as far as I have encountered it, also places labels the way they would be in CAD by accessing the rotation labels that might be imbedded in the dxf file.</div><div><br></div><div>Maybe that helps?</div><div><br></div><div>Liebe Grüße,</div><div>Jackie Aydt</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I’m facing the following issue: I imported the sewer network from a DXF file, along with the corresponding labels. However, the channel geometries and the labels are stored in separate layers and are not linked to each other. Although the attribute table of the label layer contains a “Rotation” field, QGIS still displays the text horizontally by default.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">In the layer properties, under “Placement,” you can specify a rotation angle—I've tried that, but the label orientations are still not correct. I suspect that the reference point of the labels was set arbitrarily during the import, which prevents the rotation from being applied properly.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">My goal is to reproduce the same label layout as in the original DXF file.<br> Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem?</span></p>
