CAD DWG/DXF import and editing

[vpicavet]

Importing plans from Autocad format is important. Importing and directly using DWG/DXF files is a plus for qWAT.

This is already a work in progress funded by Andreas Neumann and implemented by Jurgen Fischer

For the record, another dxf importer plugin just landed http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/AnotherDXF2Shape/ It seems to add interesting feature. @qwat-psc can someone test it with real dxf? Could someone send me a sample dxf for testing purposes? thanks

Features:

• Other elements than the standard import are displayed

• Display of text (Labeling)

• Text parameters (attributes) are convert from the DXF (E.g. Rotation angle, text size, text color, position (text-align), color)

• transfer of individual text formats

• Categorization by Layer

• Group by Layer

• Separate representation by layers possible

• optional: convert color from DXF

DWG core importer landed in qgis 2.18.2 and 2.99! Tested here and it renders really nice. Data is imported into a GPKG. Tests more than welcome, this can be usefull for your workflows @qwat-board

Thanks Jurgen ! Do know if libdxfrw devs have plans for write capabilities on dwg? (I'm probably dreaming of a sort of a encrypted and compressed holy grail which is changing every 3 years.. )

@Board Current dwg import works nicely, is that enough to close that qwat issue?

Any news about importing DXF into the QWAT data model?
