[Freegis-list] polygonize a set of lines

[Guglielmo Nigri]

I would also like to mention our open source software "Dxf2PostGIS".

Description:
A tool to convert DXF files to PostGIS geometry tables. A single DXF 
file is converted to a PostgreSQL/PostGIS SQL script to create and 
populate 5 tables, using the AutoCAD information of point, line, 
polyline, text, circle, insert.

Sourceforge project page:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dxf2postgis

Direct download (Windows installer):
