[GIS] Splitting DXF layers into Shapefile layers in QGIS

dxfqgisshapefilesplitting

When I load a DXF into QGIS all the layers are present in the attribute table. Is it possible to split this "entities" layer in QGIS into its component parts and save each component part as an individual shapefile.

I am at present selecting each layer and right clicking and saving as .shp. But is there a fast way because this way is time consuming and boring?

You wil need to define a field to split them with, if you don't already have one.
Then use the split layer.
