Have you checked Beat's page? m. On Mar 23, 2016, at 12:25 PM, Andrew Atkinson <andrew(a)wotcc.org.uk> wrote: Hello Not strictly Therion, but.. Somewhere I think I have read about how to get data from a DistoX2 once it has been marked as sent it is still in the memory. (My pelicase broke on the way out of the cave and the pda was flooded, luckily the Distox2 survived) So I can see the data in the DistoX, so I can just type it in manually, but it would be better to get it off electronically, then all I have lost is the diagrams, which where not much, it is a grim bit of cave to survey. Anyway if anyone knows how to get the data to be resent, I would be most data, my web searching skills do not seem to be coming up with an answer thanks Andrew _______________________________________________ Therion mailing list Therion(a)speleo.sk http://mailman.speleo.sk/mailman/listinfo/therion

Re: [Therion] Therion Tutorial Update - Data Structures and Layouts

Yes, I think so. What I had tried to do was combine several outputs into one file by doing something like this: select <map1>export <plan pdf of map1>select <map2>export <plan pdf of map2> As I understand this now, this still would not work as I intended. But it would generate two PDFs both containing both map1 an map2

Therion Tutorial Update - Data Structures and Layouts
by Bruce 22 Mar '16

Footleg Had a quick skim through your tutorial today, one thing stood out as incorrect. "Note that you can only use one select statement in a thconfig file, and it does not matter where in the file you put it. I always put it at the top so it is easy to spot. If you put in select statements for more than one map then only one of them will be used." We routinely use thconfig files with multiple select statements for maps with the same projection. All of the maps are produced in the resulting pdf (and other) files. As with Therion's typical treatment of lists of drawn entities, the first map listed is in the top layer of the pdf, and the last map is in the bottom layer. Bruce =

user-defined attributes to database export
by Dirk Peinelt 15 Mar '16

15 Mar '16

I've a lot of user-defined attributes on the station with entrance flag, centreline and survey object. The values are visible as a further column in the html list-exports. The data should be also available in the sql database export. Is there a way to manage this? Centreline, survey and station custom attributes should be enough. But map, scrap, point, line and surface custom attributes is not needed in the sql file. Three normalized tables would be fine: C_ATTR_STATION C_ATTR_CENTRELINE C_ATTR_SURVEY Each with an ID field of the corresponding table object, attribute name and value. //dirk

Hi Footleg, you don't show using right click with mouse when drawing scraps. It is much faster way. Drawing line - one may not draw beziers directly. It is possible to draw only points which are not "smooth" and then use "Convert to curve" feature from "Edit line" menu. There are only small correction necessary. The problem with transparency is that all viewers using Apple library and several others (Sumatra) ignore group transparency which is in definition of PDF. So it is bug. (According to Martin Budaj). m.s. On Mar 15, 2016, at 03:46 PM, Footleg <drfootleg(a)gmail.com> wrote: Hot off the press, I have published another update to my Therion Tutorial.

Hot off the press, I have published another update to my Therion Tutorial. Since the last revision in November 2015 I have simplified the recommendations on larger project data structures (I realised my own projects were not following my advice I had written!), and added a new lesson on defining layouts. As always, feedback and comments are welcomed. But don't be disheartened if I have not yet incorporated suggestions made already into this latest revision. I just wanted to get this initial layouts chapter out there as several people asked for it. I'll take the time to read all the feedback I've received already and merge it into the tutorial in time.

Colouring by map or scrap
by Graham Mullan 11 Mar '16

11 Mar '16

The problem that I have with colour is that assigning the colours automatically means it's difficult to get matching colours on plan and elevation. It works on straightforward cases, you just put the maps in the same order on plan & elevation & it assigns the colours in the same order. This does not work if you have a number of elevations on different projections. Thus far I've only managed this match by post-processing in GIMP or Paint.net. The ability to assign colours would be useful indeed.
