Otherwise, try “mapimport4″ in AutoCad. Don’t think all versions have this.

Hello,
I have to convert shape-files to dxf. Alsot I have to transform the filled collors and announcements (all in/at one layer) to dxf. Is this possible?
Thanks

Thanks. The ogr page indicates that ogr has to be linked against the DWGDirect library in order for it to have this capability. Do you know if the pre-compiled binary versions of ogr have this ability?

There’s GDAL/OGR that has limited support of CAD formats. See http://gdal.org/ogr/drv_dxfdwg.html
