This appears to be something severely missing from qcad - unless I've missed something.
Is there any way of exporting a block to a dxf file?

Ah-ha! Thanks.
I've just discovered that. I was looking for a way of getting some blocks off an existing drawing & adding them to the library. I've now managed a couple. in dxf format. I've not managed to do it by using export to create png files though. Pictures are created, but aren't viable in the library - not that it bothers me.

Same Problem
Yep, I am trying to do the same thing, any png file is not recognized by the library browser that I put in the library and try to insert it. What format is Qcad using in its library items? For example the templates are in 64x64 png and only ~500 bits. But if I try to export a 'block', it is png 5,ooo bits big. And the my 64x64 version is unrecognizable.
Trying to copy a seperate dxf file and paste on to a new layer on my drawing does not do anything for me.
I am using linux.
