v.in.dxf converts DXF format CAD files to GRASS vector  format.  The  following  graphical  objects  (DXF
       entities) are supported:

           •   point

               •   DXFPOINT

           •   line

               •   DXFLINE

               •   DXFPOLYLINE

               •   DXFLWPOLYLINE

               •   DXFARC

               •   DXFCIRCLE

               •   DXFTEXT

           •   face

               •   DXFPOLYFACEMESHES

               •   DXF3DFACE
       Table  and  column names are changed to lowercase characters for easier SQL usage (lowercase table/column
       names avoid the need to quote them if the attribute table is stored in a SQL DBMS such as PostgreSQL).

       The "layer" column will contain the name(s) of the DXF input layer(s). The DXF entity type string will be
       stored in the "entity" column as uppercase.

       The "handle" column can be used to store small bits of data associated with any entity in  the  DXF  file
       (i.e.,  entity  handle or unique object identifiers in the layer). The entity handle is a "text string of
       up to 16 hexadecimal digits", which is a 64-bit  integer  (currently  not  supported  by  GRASS  database
       drivers).   For  text  type  entities,  the  text value will be stored in the "label" column of the GRASS
       vector output map. Neither the "handle" nor "label" column is mandatory.
