dxf export should support layers

[SCYG]

The dxf export function should support layers - currently all lines are exported, even hidden ones, all to a single dxf layer. This can result in an unusable or barely usable CAD file.

Please provide information about OS/platform and Inkscape version used.

Inkscape 0.48.1 does support layers in DXF export ("Desktop Cutting Plotter (R13) (*dxf)").

This is 0.48 on WinXP

> This is 0.48 on WinXP

Please look up the exact version number in menu 'Help > About Inkscape': which version do you have installed?
- Inkscape 0.48.0 r9654
- Inkscape 0.48.1 r9760

Note that layer support for DXF export was added in the latest bug-fix release 0.48.1. Please upgrade to this newest stable version if you still use Inkscape 0.48.0.

If you already are using Inkscape 0.48.1, please attach a sample SVG file which fails to export the layers to DXF, to allow further investigation of the reported issue.

It was 0.48.0. I downloaded the new release and the dxf export works. Looks like problem solved.

Thank you for reporting back, and glad exporting with layers to DXF now works for you.
