[GRASSLIST:10118] Combining layers

This is a beginner's question...

If I have imported 13 layers of roads data (each layer represents a county), can I combine the layers so that there is only 1 layer in my map?

I would like to build polylines for 1 layer and then export that in shapefile format.

Hi Steven,
I think you can try with "v.patch"!! the last version support the join
of the tables.. but the tables must have the same columns I think!!!
otherway if you don't care of attributes simply "v.patch" without
joining tables and then "v.build.polylines" and then v.out.ogr...
hope this help

The simplest way is to add the maps you want to combine to the layer tree
(list of map layers) in the GIS Manager and press the display button.
