Hm, I tested it again today and it works now even without grid. Strange, I don't know what I did yesterday. It also seems that Therion crops the image to the layout size. Is there a way to get the whole image with the centrelines (or outlines,..) but with no additional north arrow or other layout stuff?
It crops the image to the area of map + header + border around them. You may increase the border by setting 'overlap' in the layout.
You may hide header (north arrow etc.) using 'map-header 100 100 off' option in layout.
This works but it changes the symbol sizes of the stations also. I've added two pdfs which show the different scales. I only have the centreline data (and stationmarks) visible with some metapost code. The best would be to swich station marks off. Here the layout part of my config:
layout test #scale 1 20000 scale 1 1000 surface bottom
code metapost def l_survey_cave (expr p) = draw p withpen PenD withcolor (0.1, 0.3,0.1); enddef; endlayout
You may switch station marks off using 'symbol-hide point station' in layout without the need of metapost redefinitions.
If you want to display cave in the scale 1:1000 with the topographical map as a background, try cropping the bitmap to an area slightly larger than the cave; or use SVG.
