About
QGIS plugin to export loaded vector layers (points, lines, polygons) to a single professional DXF file, ready to open in AutoCAD or any CAD software. Main features: - One DXF layer per category: choose a field per QGIS layer to split it into several DXF layers automatically (e.g. one DXF layer per road type, per land use...). - Independent label/text field: write any field value as DXF text next to each feature, regardless of the field used for the DXF layer name. - Exact colors (true color RGB) read from the QGIS symbology, plus an automatic ACI fallback for older DXF viewers that don't support true color. - Real line widths and line types (dashed, dotted, dash-dot...) taken from the QGIS simple line symbology. - Polygons exported with fill (hatch) and independent outline: solid fill or a selectable pattern (diagonal lines, horizontal lines, grid, dots) with adjustable scale; optional setting to make the outline match the fill color, useful with "Categorized" renderers where only the fill color varies. - Points exported as DXF POINT entities, with an option to also insert a DXF block (INSERT) approximating the QGIS marker shape (circle, square, triangle, diamond, cross, X, star, pentagon, hexagon...). - Optional export limited to the current canvas view, with geometries clipped to that extent instead of exported whole. - Text labels try to preserve their QGIS orientation (data-defined rotation, or the line's own direction for road-name style labels) instead of always being exported horizontal. - Automatic reprojection to the QGIS project CRS. - A faulty feature (invalid geometry, unusual category value...) is skipped instead of aborting the whole export.
