DWG importer usability issues #47230
Comments
@roya0045 yes, what do you suggest here?
When importing? no, the dialog creates the target gpkg if does not exist,
Can you post a sample?
what do you mean?
yes, because importing a dwg/dxf can result in very large number of layers being added to the project, having them grouped is not only handy, is basically mandatory. |
Selecting the dwg to import first, and then set the destination (in and then out, not the opposite)
You're right you can create a new one, with an existing one if created from the browser it sometimes just doesn't work.
I think the main issue comes from using an already existing geopackage sometimes. It should be replicable with sample dwg, the gpkg seems the be the main blocker not the dwg source. (tested also with a sample from https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/downloads/caas/downloads/content/autocad-sample-files.html)
There is no way to 'start' the process. If you are not doing this locally and across a vpn it can brick QGIS for 10 mins and this doesn't allow you to change the crs once the IN and OUT are set, you are forced to do it after the destination is set but before loading the source, or you'll have to start again.
It can but they are already grouped individually. It doesn't make sense to force a single 'layer' to be nested into two groups. The user should have the choice to export them under a single group or not, like for any batch import. |
@roya0045 good for a feature request I guess.
so what are the steps to replicate?
I don't understand, Once QGIS hsa finished parsing the DWG and the user filled the "group name" then the OK" button become active, and must be pressed manually. Or are you referring the the parsing process itself, that starts when the DWG is selected? If is the latter then what would be the suggestion? Add a "parse" DWG button? I guess that would also be good for a feature request.
maybe another feature request? |
Sure, though the whole thing would need a lift to fit the QGIS way, the goal of this was just to have a ticket for that widget. I don't mind converting this to a single FR to modernize the widget with the listed elements as outstanding.
The ok only imports the data selected, everything is written to the destination gpkg regardless if you add it to the project or not. Even if you hit Cancel, everything is in the geopackage now. Also selecting a single element from the list can lead to importing nothing and just creating an empty group (the one blocking you from creating ok), that only happens if the 'layer' imported is not a geospatial layer (I have no clue how a dwg can lead to have so many table dataset but that's out of scope).

nice! |
The QGIS project highly values your report and would love to see it addressed. However, this issue has been left in feedback mode for the last 14 days and is being automatically marked as "stale". |
While we hate to see this happen, this issue has been automatically closed because it has not had any activity in the last 42 days despite being marked as feedback. If this issue should be reconsidered, please follow the guidelines in the previous comment and reopen this issue. |
What is the bug or the crash?
I'm not sure if this should be a bug or a feature request, or many small bugs/UX issues.
