I'm using GDAL/OGR 1.7.2 with the C# bindings to write a tool that will export
data to various formats.
When it exports to DXF I want it to use a specific layer name rather than using
the default dxf layer 0.
The problem is that even though I'm setting the attribute "Layer" for each
feature, it is still appearing as layer 0 in the final DXF file. I've checked
and the "Layer" attribute does exist, and setting the attribute value doesn't
throw any errors. The geometry is getting saved to the DXF OK.
Any ideas? An extract of my code is below.
//--------------------------------------------------
//Loop through input layers writing to output
lyrInput.ResetReading();
Feature inFeat = lyrInput.GetNextFeature();
iError = -1;
while (inFeat != null)
{
//Try approach of creating new feature
Feature outFeat = new Feature(lyrOutput.GetLayerDefn());
if (outFeat.SetGeometry(inFeat.GetGeometryRef()) ==
Ogr.OGRERR_NONE)
{
bFeatOK = true;
//Generic attribs for DXF
if (sOutFormat == "DXF")
{
//I've checked and this section is getting
called
outFeat.SetField("Layer", "MyLayerName");
}
}
if (bFeatOK)
{
iError = lyrOutput.CreateFeature(outFeat);
}
outFeat.Dispose();
inFeat = lyrInput.GetNextFeature();
}
Thanks
Colin
