                 Use v.in.dxf - this will only work on 2D dxf files (not 3D)
                 and does NOT bring attributes. Sorry! Don't know anything
                 about GMF (sounds straight out of Star Trek!).

      Use r.poly or r.line, depending if you want to end up with line or
      polygon features. The GRASS vector files *MUST* have attributes to
      convert to raster.
