using my TwoNickel to convert to osm,
http://github.com/h4ck3rm1k3/TwoNickels

using my patched version of osm2pgsql
(see patch here http://fmtyewtk.blogspot.com/2009/12/osm2pgsql-hack-for-importing-id-ways.html)
./osm2pgsql --utf8-sanitize --prefix prishtina --multi-geometry -P 5433 -m ~/cur/prishtina/K-Prishtina-Com.dxf.osm

It is now loading. Will then try and shift the data around manually with qgis.

The file is here the whole time :
http://ia311536.us.archive.org/3/items/PrishtinaStreets/k_prishtina_com.dxf.zip

I am working on using my osm file from dime, converting that to pgsql and the will try and transform the data with qgis, all help appreciated.

Hi,

There are points, lines and streets.
I can open the file in qcad, but it is so slow that I cannot work with it.
There are some things not supported in DIME.

but Really, this goes over my head, I would need some exact instructions on how the coords are encoded in the dxf file so that I can decode them.

I dont have autocad or windows...

thanks,
mike
