Why does QGIS not import a DXF file?

Why does QGIS not import a DXF file?

I converted the dwg in to a dxf using the ODA file converter 21.4.0, but the same error occurs. After that I tried to import a dwg sample file with the same result, so I guess the file itself is not the problem. I am new to QGIS – does anyone know why this error occurs?

Is it possible to open a DWG file?

DWG is a proprietary, closed format. As many would be able to confirm is one of the less interoperable formats. Long story short: it is not possible to open a DWG file with an Open Source software/library. There are/were attempts to create an OS library to read dwgs but afaik they don not work very well.

Is it possible to import DWGS into gvSIG?

Dispose unwanted features in the .shp file with the rectangle, polygon, radius or freehand selection whichever you may prefer. Open Source gvSIG is said to capable of opening DWGs. From there, it should be possible to export to shapefiles. Not tested here I’m afraid. Want to improve this post?

Is there a bug in QGIS 3.4?

There was a bug in QGis 3.4 that generated this message (1); it should be fixed by now, but it’s maybe related to your problem. The problem was in the GeoPackage database: it was impossible to create a new GeoPackage from the interface, you had to select an existing one, but then it didn’t have the expected structure.

How to import 3D DXF with Z information as?

Because we are dealing with contours all Z values should be the same for a given linestring, so you can simply use the following formula: When talking about having only contours in 3D dxf, the proper way is definitely NOT extracting the vertices as XYZ and interpolating the surface from points.

Can you scale a vector layer in QGIS?

Note it does open in QGIS, just in the wrong map units and location. QGIS has an affine plug-in (qgsAffine) with which you can scale vector layers. You can also apply x and y offsets to all of the vertices in a vector layer if required.

How to displacement DXF in a world file?

By means of X and Y offset, a simple displacement of the DXF can be achieved. This is y.B. useful when the original coordinates have been shortened in the CAD / system. A world (.wld) file is a text file containing control points that describe a coordinate transformation.

Can you scale a DXF to a shapefile?

QGIS has an affine plug-in (qgsAffine) with which you can scale vector layers. You can also apply x and y offsets to all of the vertices in a vector layer if required. I think you will probably need to convert your DXF to a shapefile to use it though (right-click on the layer in the layers panel and go ‘Save as…’).

When does DB manager import to PostGIS fail?

@Dkrav-UA @elpaso I think it will always fail if that SRID definition is not present in the spatial_ref_sys on the server. @Dkrav-UA @elpaso I think it will always fail if that SRID definition is not present in the spatial_ref_sys on the server. It was working just fine two minor releases ago.

Is there an error while adding features in PostGIS?

PostGIS error while adding features: ERROR: Geometry type (MultiLineString) does not match column type (LineString) now it does not and imports to MULTI anyway and silently. And it does also if you don’t have any multi-geometry, which of course are both bugs and regressions.

What was the error when importing MultiLineString in PostGIS?

Provider errors was: Geometry type MultiLineString not compatible with provider type LineString. PostGIS error while adding features: ERROR: Geometry type (MultiLineString) does not match column type (LineString) now it does not and imports to MULTI anyway and silently.

Which is the DWG file types will the dxf2shp plugin use best?

The ODA converter has many options for the format of the DXF files it will output various options of ASCII or BINARY DXF file e.g. 2003 ASCI DXF, 2010 Binary DXF, R9 ASCII DXF plus more in similar styles Which of the DWG file types will the Dxf2Shp plugin use best?
