Hi,

Unfortunately there is not proper DXF support currently for reading DXF files. QGIS only allows one geometry type per data source. The OGR dxf driver delivers multiple geometry types. QGIS just picks the first one that OGR delivers (could be point, lines and polygons). There needs to be some work done regarding the geometry types and the styling.

For writing dxf it is actually better - but exporting styles is also not possible currently.

Sorry that I don't have better news,
Andreas

that is probably the insert (anchor?), the centroid, label point, and
the line list that make up the polygons.

Hi,
 
The geometry of a DXF file (french PCI-DXF) is defined as Polygon
in the metadata.
There are points and lines though. Which do not display...
Any hint? Should points and lines be extracted  to new files?
 
Regards.

p.s. : using QGIS 1.7.3 / W7
