Michel,

  MapInfo generates .dxf files using different AutoCAD versions. So, a lot
depends on what version of MI was used and which .dxf format was generated.
The range is from AutoCAD 10 through AutoCAD 13.

  What I don't know is if GRASS is expecting a particular flavor of .dxf
file. That may be the problem.
