[GRASSLIST:429] Getting a file from Adobe Illustrator to GRASS

[Kurt Springs]

Hi Folks,

BTW, thanks for those who helped with my last problem.  I couldn't remember
the file name.

New challenge, and some of you will remember trying to help me with this
some months ago.  I put it aside then because I had other things to do.  No
I am back.  I have contour lines I've drawn in Adobe Illustrator.  I want to
move them into GRASS as vectors so I can label the elevations and start
using them.  This seems to elude me.

I tried converting them into .dxf files, but GRASS can't seem to see it.
I've tried using Textwrangler to change the line breaks to UNIX.  I've even
used the program Linebreak for this purpose.  I also tried using
Textwrangler to do a hexdump and converted the file to ascii.

One thing I am considering is printing out the contours and trying to use
v.digit to trace them.  Can I do this with out a digitizing tablet using an
optical mouse?  I may have to get some transparent film and make a target to
tape on it.

Can anyone thing of an easier way of doing it.

Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Kurt
