Re: [Qgis-user] Export to DXF question

[Johanna Botman]

Thanks for the prompt reply Nyall,

I have discovered that the scale option is also a factor. The default was 
1:1000 or something like that. When I changed it to 1:500 my export is 
looking much better.
I have still to test more, so I will test with the Mtext option unchecked as 
well. I'll answer my question on Stack Exchange when I have worked it out.

Have you checked whether changing the output scale helps here? There's probably 
label collisions preventing the other parcels being labelled.
Alternatively you could set "show all labels" for the parcel layer to force all 
labels to be shown, even if they overlap.

That's likely because you're using the mtext option. Try unchecking that 
setting.
