Hi again, I am wondering if most of my issues are a result of wrong parameters in my ogr2ogr command:
Here is my command: ogr2ogr -select '' -f DXF test_ogr.dxf -dsco header=header_export_werkplan_abwasser.dxf -spat 695700 245900 696000 246100 PG:"dbname='uster' host='servername' port='5432' user='read' password='reader' schemas=abwasser tables=abwasser.export_dxf_geo405(the_geom)" So maybe the -select '' causers ogr to not read the attribute values and thus it cannot see layer, blockname, etc.? That's probably the case. If I use ogr2ogr -f DXF test_ogr.dxf -dsco header=header_export_werkplan_abwasser.dxf -spat 695700 245900 696000 246100 PG:"dbname='uster' host='servername' port='5432' user='read' password='reader' schemas=abwasser tables=abwasser.export_dxf_geo405(the_geom)" note - without the -select '' I receive error messages: ERROR 1: DXF layer does not support arbitrary field creation, field 'blockscale' not created. ERROR 1: DXF layer does not support arbitrary field creation, field 'blockangle' not created. ERROR 1: DXF layer does not support arbitrary field creation, field 'layer_geo405' not created. ERROR 1: DXF layer does not support arbitrary field creation, field 'ogr_style' not created. ERROR 1: DXF layer does not support arbitrary field creation, field 'gid' not created. ERROR 1: DXF layer does not support arbitrary field creation, field 'blockname' not created. I still get an output dxf - but as soon as I open it in autocad, Autocad crashes with a fatal error. FME can't read the resulting file either.
