"\legendbox" "\loadpicture" and absolute paths
by rowena 14 Mar '21

14 Mar '21

Hello, I am using the "\loadpicture" capability in "\legendbox" constructs to include map sections, elevations, etc. It all works nicely on my PC where I am using relative paths to the pdf files. My club has a desire to archive the map data for posterity - ie if my pc dies or I go walkabout, the map data should still be available so that others can add to the maps as they are extended. I would prefer to have the images included using relative pathnames, rather than absolute pathnames, so that future explorers can download the map data and extend it, without having to duplicate my file hierarchy. How can I include relative paths in the \loadpicture functionality? Thanks, Rowena

Import a scrap into another scrap (or th2-file)
by torstein finnesand 11 Oct '17

Hi fellows, Sometimes I realize that two scraps should have been one (for instance scrap A in A.th2 should have been a part of scrap B in B.th2), in particular when it's difficult to join them. It's easy to insert the xvi file into the scrap B file. But I have to draw it again. Is there any workaround here? Torstein Finnesand Norway

by Rodrigo Severo 26 Dec '16

Hi, I'm producing PDFs of a map with raft cones but Therion is preparing a PDF with raft (calcite raft) symbols instead. I tried changing the points to raft but the rendering doesn't change. I'm using Ubuntu Therion 5.3.16. How can I further debug this issue? Regards, Rodrigo Severo

Hi, After a "convert to curve" operation lines loose their IDs. I believe they also loose other info like the "l-size" required by slopes. Shouldn't all info - id and options - be kept - after a "convert to curve" operation. Regards, Rodrigo
