Trying to convert lines to polygons

The areas you create are not labelled (means that v.to.rast will give
you an empty file). Snapping doesn't help. Labelling is done via the
dig_att file : an entry for each area or line to be labelled made as
following for an area :

A xxxxxx yyyyyy nn

A means area (L for line), xxxxx and yyyyyy are the coordinates of the
label point (inside the area), and nn is the area number (> 0).

Try to use v.digit after running v.support. There is some command
to show unlabelled areas. You can label each area interactively.
If some areas cannot be labelled, look at the nodes around them (and
zoom)
If there is some green dots, that's mean that a line doesn't match
any other. You can snap manualy lines together, solving the unclosed
polygon problem. After that rerun v.support to label area, and

v.to.rast

will work.

If you have some labels in dxf, you can import them in the dig_att file
with respect to the format showed above (v.digit is sometimes boring

The problem is that I want to get the polygon topology of a very big DXF
(snapping manually all the lines would be VERY VERY boring). In the
other hand, the results must in a vector (not raster) format, because I
want to export the results into another vector format; because of that I
can't use v.to.raster (I would get a raster map).

Is there any way to close all the areas automatically into a vector
map?.

Attached to this message is a little example of my DXF. I would be very
grateful if someone could explain me the steps to do in order to obtain
a vector map with all the areas contained in the DXF.

Thank tou very much for your time!!!

Hi!

Did you ever get to solve your problem?
I have a similar one importing a vector file
from A/I and geting lots of

PNT_TO_AREA failed: (28.041898, 36.882575) (Category 312)
PNT_TO_AREA failed: (-3.907297, 36.889162) (Category 313)
WARNING: area 679 label: 3178 matched another label: 314.

when running v.suport.
