[GRASS-user] Empty vector file and v.db.addtable

GRASS GRASS user

Dear GRASSusers,

I have two questions (GRASS6.2.2):

  1. Is the v.db.addtable available through the GIS Manager (I wasn’t able to find it). Or it can be used only in command line mode (GRASS prompt)?

  2. How can I produce an empty vector file? I would like to connect a couple of tables to it before start digitizing. I know it can be created by entering and exiting v.digit without digitizing anything, but I wonder if there is a more direct and specific way to do it.

Many thanks in advance

I have added it now so that it will go into the 6.2.2 release.

With v.in.ascii you can do that:
-e Create a new empty map and exit. Nothing is read from input

In GRASS 6.3, also v.edit can do that:
tool=create: Create new (empty) vector map

Best,
Markus
