[GRASSLIST:7769] vectors creation and attributes table

Hi all,

GRASS6 improve greatly vector attribute management. Sadly, it seems that some vector commands do not support natively copy of attributes. By example, I would like to use v.split on contour lines to obtain more points and use them with v.surf.rst. The elevation is one of the attributes on my contour lines vector table. Is there a trick to attach attribute to new vector ?

Best regards,

Jean-Denis

In a couple of modules the full attribute support is still missing.
Programmers welcome!

As workaround you can use v.category and then link to the new
cats.

AFAIK, v.surf.rst adds points along lines.
