Hello Bruce, thanks for you answer. You got exactly what I meant, I needed to know if I can have a station labelled without creating a .th2 file. The debug station-names (layout option) generates too much output: I only need to mark some "important" stations and have them marked with the *same* label in all projections. It seems I can't avoid to make at least a scrap for every projection I need. Thanks again, Marco On Sat, Jun 15, 2013 at 11:28 PM, Bruce <bruce@tomo.co.nz> wrote:
maybe it's a silly question, maybe not: It would be useful to have a station point labelled with some text and get the label appear either in plan than in extended projection.****
Marco, there are no silly questions, except the one’s not asked.****
I’m not sure I understand your question though. I presume you have tried, in a layout;****
** **
-debug station-names****
** **
This will label every station included in a scrap drawing (I think – your comment below has made me doubt this-I’m just going from memory- maybe it only labels those stations included as a ‘survey’ within a map definition?) ****

I made many attempt to achieve this but I cannot see any label unless I define a "label" point in 2 .th2 scraps (one for the plan, another for the extended projection) and include them in the map. I know it is possible to label a station in the centerline file but the label does not appear in projections.****
I presume that rather than labeling every station you want to tell therion which station(s) to label.****
If you insert a ‘point station-name’ in your scrap, xtherion creates a statement line this in your scrap;****
** **
point 5708.0 1728.0 station-name -align r -scale xs****
** **
It will insert a label with text matching the nearest station’s name.****
** **
I was searching if there is any simpler way to get those labels visible than defining 2 scraps.****
If by two scraps you mean, one scrap for plan, one scrap for elevation, (one scrap for each other projection) then of course this is the case. If you want a cartographed drawing for each projection, then of course you must make separate drawings of walls, cave features labels etc, one for each projection. (Early in my therion days I tried using the same scrap drawing for elevation and extended projections. One must make a copy of the file or use revise to change the projection for the second use. The results are not usually that good so, except for a very straight cave, I don’t recommend it-I may have mentioned it in the wiki somewhere – I forget).****
** **
Or perhaps I have misunderstood the intent of your question?****

Thanks,****
