[GRASS-user] Possible to patch vector layers with differing number of columns

Hello,

I am trying to patch together 3 vector layers which have a different number of columns per att.table. I keep getting the error that they cannot be patched because of this. Is there a way around this? One table has 31 columns, another has 13 and the last has 3.

Best,

Tanya

You have two choices:

1) modify the attribute tables before patching to make them identifical in structure

2) Don't patch with attribute tables (i.e. omit the -e flag of v.patch), possibly reconnecting to an attribute table afterwards.
