Because I had major problems with exporting to .dxf (for AutoCAD), here some advices: 1. don't use " , " in the Layer names, this will make the file crash - I spend hours of trying and troubleshooting to figure it out. 2. if some objects have some extreme line widths in auto cad, just try to decrease the "global width" or in case of circles the " y,x,z" value. 3. try to avoid hatching, better do it in AutoCAD later on.. PS: Thanks for your helpful video! :)
Very clear tutorial going through the arduous trial and error journey I've been on too. I'm still having scale issues opening the dxf in AutoCAD (PC). It's reassuring and encouraging that you've resolved the problem though - I'll let you know when I have the same luck. Many thanks.
Solution: Your exported entities have color set to 0,0,0 (R,G,B). If your background color is black, they are invisible. You can set background to a grey color, or filter for color 0,0,0 and change color to another value.
Great tutorial! I just have one question - what scale is the exported dxf-file? I can't find anywhere to choose scale (if I do no symbology as you recommend) and I can't quite figure it out when I measure in AutoCAD. TIA!
thanks for the tutorial! When I have my drawing in QGIS it is not distorted or stretched due to the CRS I am using. However, when I export it and open it in autocad, it's quite stretched and seems like I'm looking at it from an angle.... Is ther a way to overcome this? Further, what about the scale issue? thanks!
Nice tutorial, but it doesn't fulfill my needs. Beside the parcel polygons, I would like to export also parcel numbers. So far, I haven't found any solution, only Project->Import/Export->Export Project to DXF... but I can't export only selected area of interest.

Many thanks for an incredibly accessible and useful beginner's guide to DXF exports!
Many thanks for the tutorial! Sharing your knowledge freely to help others, inspiring. And useful. Thank you
Thanks for the tutorial - lots of paths in QGIS

Im having scaling issues too, how did you solve them (4 years ago)? :D :D

Thanks! You just ended my nightmare.
