Any scrap is "calibrated" see first lines of th2 file. Probably there is a another way. Odesláno z iPhone 20.9.2010 v 18:26, Andrew Atkinson <andrew@wotcc.org.uk>:
Damn
Thanks, I had read the wiki, but sort of saw it working without the scale, so assumed that it was an undocumented feature, and that it took the scale from the main map some how, as I seem to remember it complaining if it did not have scale before, or was that only for plans.
Now my reading of the wiki, and the thbook is that a scale would be needed for every scrap.
Okay this seems like a good option, but as most of the time anything in a single th2 file would be at the same scale, could not a default one be set for the file, and then over ridden by a scrap scale. As you might have seen I have lots of cross sections, to scale. It would be even better if it could take the scale from the plan, or maybe somehow from the PocketTopo import. Maybe an option for the sections been a a set multiple of the plan. (but I am not sure if people do this when drawing in the cave so might be pointless.) But maybe this is not possible, it is certainly for the future, this print will have to go out as is, guess the problem is that lost of the poeple looking at the survey next w/e are on the list so the mistake will jump out at them, now :(
If I do want to stay up all night and correct this, would the quickest way be to set the scale in one cross-section scrap and then edit it in the text editor and copy to all the other cross-section scraps?
thanks

The cross-sections has no included any stations to calibrate the size as map or elevation. Normally you should calibrate them: http://therion.speleo.sk/wiki/doku.php?id=tbe:wiki3#cross_sections

At last a final survey to be printed, well not quite.
On closer examination, there seems to be a scale problem with the cross section. Either that or my drawing is really bad. Some of them seem to be twice the scale of the main survey, others seem to be the same.
Is there a way to control this and what is the default?
I have a horrible feeling that when I have imported from pocket topo, it asks which scale, some I have done at 1:200 but in the end I switched to 1:100, I hope this has not made a difference.
You should be able to see what I mean on

The ones on Route 66 (upper label) Onion Passage, look fine, but the ones on Route 66 (lower label) seem far too large, I have assumed twice scale.
Practically out of time this has to go to printing, tomorrow
Can I also thank all those on the list that have helped me to get this into production, and especially to those of you doing the coding
