h1. Export from QGis to CAD

An algorithm has been created by Selvarani, to see the whole process click here:

h1. QGis Graphical Modeler: An algorithm to automatically export data directly from Gisaf to .dxf format (CAD)

> * Login to PostGIS

> * Directly from the Gisaf server, load all the layers which need to be converted into .dxf format

> * Go to Processing Menu, click on “Graphical Modeler” (or Ctrl+Alt+G)

> * The “Model Designer” window will open:

The final model will look like this:

*Below, the explanation on how the algorithm has been created.*

> * An input to the algorithm is needed: go to “Inputs” tab and double click on “Vector Layer”

The window “Input Vector layer Parameter Definition” will open:
> * in “Description”, enter “Input Vector layer”
> * in “Geometry type” select “Any Geometry Type”
> * Click “Ok”

Input is created as above.
As a second step, features need to be filtered, because some layers have different “Status” (E, D, F, etc. as defined in CSR Geomatics CAD Layer Naming Standards):
> * in the Algorithms panel, type “filter” in the Search Box: this way, all existing algorithms related to “filter” will be listed
> * double click on “Feature filter”

“Feature filter” window will open:

> * Click on ‘Add output filter’ icon

> * Click on expression button !https://redmine.auroville.org.in/attachments/download/10628/Expression%20Button.png! to write an expression for the filter.

> * The Expression dialog will open, type the criteria for defining the filter, e.g. “STATUS”=’E’
