<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>

<em>v.convert.all</em> converts all GRASS 5.0/5.3/5.4 vectors in the current
mapset into GRASS 7 vectors.

<h2>NOTES</h2>

Vector maps from 5.0/5.3/5.4 and 7 do not interfere. They are stored in different 
directories, so the same names can be kept. Old vector maps can be listed with
<em>g.list oldvect</em>.

<p>To convert back from 7 to 6 vector format, use <em>v.build</em> in GRASS 6.
<p>To convert back from 6.0 into the 5.0/5.3/5.4 vector format,
use <em>v.out.ogr</em> (to SHAPE format) and then <em>v.in.shape</em>
in the old GRASS program.
<p>
As this GRASS version uses SQL for attribute management, there are
some <a href=sql.html>SQL restrictings concerning the file names</a>.
This script changes dots (e.g. "foo.bar") in old vector map names into
underline(s) (e.g. "foo_bar").

<h2>EXAMPLE</h2>

To convert all old vector maps in the current mapset to the new vector format:
<p><div class="code"><pre>
v.convert.all
</pre></div>
