Dear all,

I'm having some trouble copying the values from a raster image (Dartmoor1) to a series of vector points (Contour_points - created from a contour vector map). When I try to use v.what.rast I get the following error:

v.what.rast vector=contour_poi...@permanent raster=dartmo...@permanent layer=1 column=level
More points (644858) of category 1, value set to 'NULL'
1 categories loaded from table
1 categories loaded from vector
0 categories from vector missing in table
1 duplicate categories in vector
1 records updated
0 update errors

Looks like all the points in Contour_points have the same cat value. Check this with:
v.category Contour_points opt=report

You can add new separate cat values for each point like this:
v.category Contour_points opt=del out=Contour_points_tmp
v.category Contour_points_tmp opt=add out=Contour_points_cats
(get rid of the tmp vector: g.remove vect=Contour_points_tmp)

Now check:
v.category Contour_points_cats opt=report

Next setup a column for the rast values:
v.db.addcol Contour_points_cats col="rast_value double"
(Is your raster an integer or float raster??)
And now you should be able to get the raster values into the points attrib table with:

v.what.rast Contour_points_cats rast=Dartmoor1 col=rast_value


I think that this is an attribute table issue. I have followed the instructions in Example B http://grass.itc.it/grass62/manuals/html62_user/v.what.rast.html but get the following message

v.to.db map=Contour_points option=cat
Reading features...
Updating database...
1 categories read from vector map (layer 1)
1 records selected from table (layer 1)
1 categories read from vector map exist in selection from table
0 records updated/inserted (layer 1)
Record (cat 1) already exists (not inserted)

I have also tried creating and attaching a new table but get the same result for v.what.vect. Any ideas welcome, thanks for reading!
