Hi Wookey, yes that would be nice! It would also speed up the reverse engineering process dramatically, since one then could generate one "super scrap" (1 -2 km length) of all extracted layers and simply break it up into smaller scraps, thereafter. Meanwhile, I have gained more experience with the svg to th2 conversion and it works surprisingly well even with the large Corel Draw maps. I have now changed my strategy a bit and manually extract all symbols of one kind (e.g. rocks, contour lines) using Inkscape and save them as a separate th2 files with the correct line description. Then I combine everything in a single th2 file using a text editor. However, I had to break up one 1 km section into two 500 m scraps since editing the very large scrap turned out to be too slow with the Therion map editor. So I guess the suggested scrap limit of ~100 m is mainly based on editing speed. Juergen Zitat von Wookey <wookey@aleph1.co.uk>:

Ya, but there is "Move to" part in Object section of Map editor. First of all you find the line number of end of scrap you want too move in. After you write this number to Move to field. After you simply select the object and click on Move to button.
The color of object should change from blue to yellow.
But that is still one object at a time. I too could really use the ability to select an area and move all of it to another scrap.
