Description
I thought I'd test the new ability to export to any OGR supported format. This is the resulting error message:
Export to vector file failed.
Error: creation of field Id failed (OGR error: DXF layer does not support arbitrary field creation.)
Maybe there's a way to actually produce a working dxf by automatically deleting and/or renaming attribute fields or something?

Save as DXF doesn't work here either.
Using Qgis 1.5.0, (libgdal1 version 1.7.1) from the Build Service on openSuSE 11.2 (64-bit).
When trying to save a vector layer (shape) as dxf, I get the following error:
Error: creation of data source failed (OGR error:Failed to find template header file header.dxf for reading, is GDAL_DATA set properly?)
Checked: There is no environment setting GDAL_DATA on my system.

Saving as DXF works fine under Ubuntu Natty and qgis 1.7
I tested to "save as..." dxf a shapefile and also a dxf file and worked.
The problem I see is that if the user forgets to add the extension to the oupfile, the file is saved as .d and not as .dxf

It works also under Windows. I'll close again, please give it another try as it is probably a local installation problem.

You where right, Giovanni!
The message
Error: creation of data source failed (OGR error:Failed to find template header file header.dxf for reading, is GDAL_DATA set properly?)
was indeed caused a local installation problem.
The Build Service package gdal needs to be installed to prevent it.
