Thanks, Stacho. This works. In advance, I had to ensure that the ID's (not the -name) in the scraps is not the same as a station number. For instance

point 898.0 3704.5 station -id V10 -name V10

line wall -id V10

map V10

 gives 

-- duplicate object name --


during compiling, since V10 is a station number.

And, the therion.log becomes more correct (in my opinion), since this sentence

4> Survey contains 3237 survey stations, joined by 3511 legs.

did include the equate rows in the number of legs.

I am sorry replaying this question so late, but I am currently
cleaning all todo lists and I have discovered it as not answered.

If you specify "-namespace off" in your surveys - it must be specified
for each survey, it will not create namespace and so you do not need
to specify equate commands, if you have unique station names. It
should do exactly what you are asking for.

E.g., if you have

survey s1 -namespace off
  centerline
    data normal from to bearing clino tape
    0 1 100 0 10
    1 2 200 0 10
  endceterline
endsurvey

survey s2 -namespace off
  centerline
    data normal from to bearing clino tape
    2 0 300 0 10
  endceterline
endsurvey

Should automatically create 0 - 1 - 2 closed loop.

Thanks. Probably I will arrange data in a few surveys. Shouldn't be a
problem.

I thought that maybe the "namespace off" commando could solve the problem,
but I guess not. But can someone explain what "namespace off" does?

Hi Torsten,

either you use equate, or you need to remove the individual surveys. You
can use "#" to mark the lines as comment. Small hint, you can use more than
two stations at the equate command.

Hi,
"Equate" is used to set the survey stations equivalence, i.e: equate
2@first 1@second. The cave I survey has only unique station names (about
3000). But still I have to use the equate command for a station that is
located in 2 surveys. If not, the loops will not be closed. So I do like
this: equate TA40@first TA40@second. I have to use this command many times,
since the cave has a lot of surveys.

Question: Is it possible to not use the equate command, since all
stations are unique? For instance by another command that tells
Therion/survex that the station names are unique even if there are two or
more surveys or by arranging data in another way.
