How to convert shape files to .dwg format using Quantum GIS 1.7.0 ?

Thank you

Answer 1

This is not possible in QGIS but Google tells me there are Autocad plugins for importing Shapefiles http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?2004-Converting-shp-files-to-dwg

Answer 2

Export a dxf then convert that to dwg with DoubleCAD XT

QGIS can output DXF files by rightclick on the layer and Save as. Every CAD software should be able to read that. A DWG driver is available, but for license issues not implemented:
