Description

In the Processing toolbox, under GDAL/OGR-> OGR Conversion-> Convert format,
it does not seem to be possible to export as DXF.
It is possible to choose "AutoCAD DXF", but when the function
is run, an error is returned:

ERROR|Fri May 16 2014 15:33:26|Uncaught error while executing algorithm|Traceback (most recent call last):|Traceback (most recent call last):| File "C:/Users/havatv/.qgis2/python/plugins\\processing\\core\\GeoAlgorithm.py", line 203, in execute| self.processAlgorithm(progress)| File "C:/Users/havatv/.qgis2/python/plugins\\processing\\algs\\gdal\\ogr2ogr.py", line 147, in processAlgorithm| poDstDS = driver.CreateDataSource(dst_ds, options=ogr_dsco)|AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'CreateDataSource'|

I had a look at the code, and it seems as if the format has to be
"DXF" and not "AutoCAD DXF". After I had changed the ogr2ogr.py
file as follows:

$ diff ogr2ogr.py.org ogr2ogr.py
62c62
< 'AutoCAD DXF',
---

'DXF',

no errors occured, and a file was created.
