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.

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)

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

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?
