I have been trying to read in some Arcinfo .shp files into 5.0beta4. My
vector maps do not appear to have the attributes at all. Does v.in.shape
automatically look for the .dbf file once I give it the shape file name?
Should I be doing this somehow with v.support or v.digit?
Joseph,
v.in.shape will automatically find your .dbf file. As
written you can supply an attribute= argument to select a numeric argument
to use as the category number of the imported vectors. Other than this the
attributes are ignored.
It isn't clear to me that a list of attributes can be meaningful associated
with vectors short of use of one of the database extensions.
Good luck,
