[GRASSLIST:5201] Re: importing AutoCad .dxf files to GRASS 4.2

[Radim Blazek]

Hi,
maybe persists for R12, R13 or R14, but I think that v.in.dxf
does not support higher version than 9 or 10.
You can use
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=30996
to convert dwg<->dxf from any version to any other.
