Hello,
I have sent a message announcing that I wanted to make some small updates
to v.out.dxf. Reason: the resulting dxf was puzzling users with a blank page
and I wanted/needed to be able to automatically display "something" when
launching a program, zooming on the data.
After investigation (some may already know but if not this may be of some
use to others):
- when the file have texts, the programs generally zoom on the data; when
there are no, the whole extend is displayed from $INSBASE to east most.
- specifying $PLIMMIN and $PLIMMAX could do the trick but these exist not
in DXF R10.
As a result, this is probably not the trouble to change just that.
BTW, could still the backup and OLD sections be removed if there are believed
to be useless, reducing the size of the code to look at?
TIA.

Make a patch and send it to the list so people can test it and see if it
is worth doing (see below).

Yes, I think so. Looks like the OLD sections date back to before GRASS 4
(late 1980s). You should make changes to your local CVS version and then
generate a patch using the 'cvs diff -u' command, then send it to the list
for discussion.
