[GRASSLIST:1758] Re: v.in.arc

[Markus Neteler]

Dear Seppo,

solution is easy:

after inspecting the file send by you I found:

1
 20.899230,50.000000
 20.899447,50.001083
 20.899154,50.004016
 20.899740,50.006950
 20.900327,50.009883
 20.900327,50.012817
          ^
This is not allowed and IMHO an error. After replacing the "," by " "
(space), v.in.arc likes the map :-) I am not sure if even ARC/INFO would
like above comma-separated coordinates.

Don't forget (after running v.support) to set a proper scale with
v.digit (first screen).

Cheers

 Markus Neteler
