Export layers with objectdata to GIS format

[Aftertouch]

Hi all,

 

I get a DWG with multiple layers with lines and such.

Now... each line has Object Data linked to it.

 

I need to make a export to GIS, where each layer is its own layer in QGIS.

 

When i make a export to SHP or GML, and load it in QGIS, all layer informatie is gone and is put on only GIS layer.

 

What is the most effective way to export AutoCAD layers to GIS layers?

I just use the QGIS Import for drawings from AutoCAD and I get the layers.

 

I think for surfaces, QGIS needs DEM, IIRC _SurfaceExportToDem is in Civil 3D.

 

Maybe in QGIS Import the SHP or just the .dwg and Go to "Layer" then  "Add Layer" then "Add Vector Layer".

 

My QGIS is at home, so I think those steps are close.

I forgot all about this over the weekend, can you post a sample drawing?

 

I'll try to find time this weekend to run through this in QGIS at home.

@SLW210 here is a sample DWG

Sample.dwg

 

There are 4 'Object Data' tables in this DWG.

I'd like to see each 'AutoCAD layer' on its own 'QGIS' layer, including only the assigned Object DATA'.

 

MAPEXPORT only seems to allow to export all object data for some reason.

How did you go about creating the SHP?

 

I don't have MAP at home so I'll have to try some things when I get back to work and double check.

 

But, looking through the QGIS information, that should be the way to go.

 

Exporting object classes to ESRI Shape file from AutoCAD® Map 3D

 

In QGIS same as mentioned before, go to the Layer menu>Select Add Layer > Add Vector Layer.

In the dialog, choose File and browse to your shapefile (.shp) location>Click Open to load the shapefile into QGIS.

 

That should be the correct way according to the documentation.

 

Also, I believe QGIS needs AutoCAD 2018 or older files, may be the same with the SHPs, your profile shows AutoCAD 2018, so is that the case here for the Map 3D?
