[GRASSLIST:6134] Re: Error in HTML help files

v.in.dwg:

If you want DXF input you have to re-compile GRASS yourself with the
OpenDWG library. This library is not Free-software (although it costs no
money) and you may not redistribute GRASS binaries including it.

see the v.in.dwg help page for more info.
 http://freegis.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/grass6/vector/v.in.dwg/description.html


You can not use v.in.ogr to load DXF, as it isn't a supported format
that OGR knows.
 http://gdal.org/ogr/ogr_formats.html

maybe someone will write the filter and give to OGR one day..?


DXF export is supported via v.out.dxf in GRASS 6.


There is v.in.dxf in GRASS 5.4, but it works only for older DXF files.
Maybe you could load with that and use v.convert to make it into GRASS
6.0.


It is hard to load new DXF files in to Free-software such as GRASS as
the format is proprietary. This situation will only get worse if
software patents and anti-reverse engineering laws continue to be passed
by world goverments.
