<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Hi,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>I am trying to export a contour layer to
PostGIS / Shapefile / GML but to no avail. The files I am trying to export are
in GRASS Vector format, thus I am using v.out.ogr. I am using the dataset found
with the Grass Book Edition 3 (North Carolina). My layer is elev_contour_3m. I
tried also to load the 10m contour layer in the same dataset but got the same
results, so I do not think it is a problem of the vector files, but more of an
exporting problem.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB>Any help how I can make this layer into a
useable layer outside GRASS is extremely appreciated!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
