- -b
- Do not build topology
- -f

- -1
- Import all objects into one layer
- --overwrite
- Allow output files to overwrite existing files

DESCRIPTION
Standard DXF is imported. The following graphical objects are supported:
- GRASS point type:
- GRASS line type:
- DXF LINE
- DXF POLYLINE
- DXF LWPOLYLINE
- DXF ARC
- DXF CIRCLE
- DXF TEXT
- GRASS face type:
- DXF POLYFACE MESHES
- DXF 3DFACE
Capital column names are changed to lowercase characters as for easier
SQL usage (lowercase column names avoid the need to quote them if the
attribute table is stored in a SQL DBMS such as PostgreSQL).
