Dxf format

[aeduard]

Extend export format types with dxf.

[gioman]

I guess that would need to be added as special case because in QGIS Server this format is part of the WMS getmap request and not of the WFS GetFeature one(?).

[aeduard]

I don't understand the differences and details, but it would be a nice feature even today :). We could sponsor the development for this update.

[Gustry]

I see "DXF" when right clicking on a layer → "Save features as", so maybe not ?
Have you tried to add it ? https://github.com/3liz/qgis-wfsOutputExtension/blob/master/wfsOutputExtension/definitions.py

@Gustry I added

    Dxf = Format(
        content_type='application/dxf',
        filename_ext='dxf',
        force_crs=None,
        ogr_provider='AutoCAD DXF',
        ogr_datasource_options=(),
        zip=False,
        ext_to_zip=(),
    )

but resulting file is 0 bytes.

Looks like the driver short name is used for ogr_provider, you could try:

ogr_provider='DXF'

nope, still 0 bytes.

@Gustry On the other had this works

Thanks for checking, indeed, it's in the documentation :

https://docs.qgis.org/3.28/en/docs/server_manual/services/wms.html#wms-getmap-format

So WMS GetCapabilities in WMS is missing the DXF format if the layer is also in WFS ?

DXF is part of the WMS capabilities regardless if a layer is published as WFS (as far as I understand)

[gioman]

no you are right, only when the layer is published as WFS.

The dxf-export in Qgis (in server through wms-request) does not save feature attributes.

@huggla sure you did the request correctly? This with the demo project (Montpellier) worked for me

[aeduard]

I've tried the setup in definitions.py (version 1.8.0), also layer is published in QGIS Server WFS capabilities. The resulting dxf has 0 bytes. Any hints?

[gioman]

Any hints?

@aeduard it won't work, as far as I understand, because the DXF is part of QGIS WMS capabilities, not WFS.
