[GRASS-user] Export of large vector grid

Thanks Nikos,

Did exacly that about 2 hours after posting this question. Interesting that the QGIS app works better than the v.out.ogr in Grass. Surely they both use the same library to write shapefiles?

Hi Wesley :slight_smile:
A (silly) suggestion: load in QGIS and then use save as shapefile... :-?

Maybe it'll work without errors :slight_smile:

Dear dev's, why "save as shapefile" does its job while "v.out.ogr"
breaks?

Thanks, Nikos
