v.out.dxf

Exports vector map to DXF file format.

Command linePython (grass.script)

v.out.dxf input=name [layer=string] output=name [--overwrite] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--qq] [--ui]

Example:

v.out.dxf input=name output=name

grass.script.run_command("v.out.dxf", input, layer="-1", output, overwrite=False, verbose=False, quiet=False, superquiet=False)

Example:

gs.run_command("v.out.dxf", input="name", output="name")

Parameters

Command linePython (grass.script)

input=name [required]
    Name of input vector map
    Or data source for direct OGR access
layer=string
    Layer number or name ('-1' for all layers)
    A single vector map can be connected to multiple database tables. This number determines which table to use. When used with direct OGR access this is the layer name.
    Default: -1
output=name [required]
    Name for DXF output file
--overwrite
    Allow output files to overwrite existing files
--help
    Print usage summary
--verbose
    Verbose module output
--quiet
    Quiet module output
--qq
    Very quiet module output
--ui
    Force launching GUI dialog

    Default: False
quiet: bool, optional
    Quiet module output
    Default: False
superquiet: bool, optional
    Very quiet module output
    Default: False

DESCRIPTION

The GRASS program v.out.dxf conversion program generates an ASCII DXF (AutoCAD) file from a GRASS vector. The output file is placed in the user's current working directory unless the user specifies a full pathname for the output.

NOTES

DXF files output by AutoCAD have the suffix .dxf
