DESCRIPTION

59       Standard DXF is imported. The  following  graphical  objects  are  sup‐
60       ported:
61
62                     GRASS point type:
63
64                            DXF POINT
65              GRASS line type:
66
67                            DXF LINE
68
69                            DXF POLYLINE
70
71                            DXF LWPOLYLINE
72
73                            DXF ARC
74
75                            DXF CIRCLE
76
77                            DXF TEXT
78              GRASS face type:
79
80                            DXF POLYFACE MESHES
81
82                            DXF 3DFACE
83       Capital  column names are changed to lowercase characters as for easier
84       SQL usage (lowercase column names avoid the need to quote them  if  the
85       attribute table is stored in a SQL DBMS such as PostgreSQL).
