[GRASS-user] Problems with v.to.db after breaking with v.edit

[Daniel Torres]

Does this helps you?
v.category input=map_of_vedit output=map2 option=add layer=2
v.db.addtable map=map2 layer=2 table=table2

In that way you preserve original information in layer1, and new categories
in layer2

Hopefully that will be useful. Maybe someone has a better idea.
