DESCRIPTION

v.convert.all converts all GRASS 5.0/5.3/5.4 vectors in the current mapset into GRASS 7 vectors.

NOTES

Vector maps from 5.0/5.3/5.4 and 7 do not interfere. They are stored in different directories, so the same names can be kept. Old vector maps can be listed with g.list oldvect.

To convert back from 7 to 6 vector format, use v.build in GRASS 6.

To convert back from 6.0 into the 5.0/5.3/5.4 vector format, use v.out.ogr (to SHAPE format) and then v.in.shape in the old GRASS program.

As this GRASS version uses SQL for attribute management, there are some <"a href="sql.html">SQL restrictings concerning the file names. This script changes dots (e.g. "foo.bar") in old vector map names into underline(s) (e.g. "foo_bar").

EXAMPLE

To convert all old vector maps in the current mapset to the new vector format:

v.convert.all
