[GRASSLIST:5888] problems with dxf files

GRASS GRASS user

Hey!
I'm trying to move some files from MapInfo to GRASS. Since v.in.mif don't works correctly I export from MApInfo the layer containg polygons of certain landuses to dxf format. When I import them from GRASS, the polygons are transformed in polylines and the thematic information is lossed. Knows anybody what happens? Any idea about what should I do? Alternatively, it is possible to transform in GRASS closed lines in areas?
Thanks in advance
Juan Pablo

Don't use DXF, try to convert MapInfo files to Shapefile (ogr2ogr for example)
and then use v.in.shape.
