Thanks Stacho
The crux was setting each individual scrap projection as ‘elevation 75 deg’, then it worked as I would have expected.
Then it was just
export map -proj [elevation 075 deg] abc.pdf
to get the results

What is the projection of es1 - es3 scraps? It should be also set to [elevation 75 deg]. I am not sure, whether alos map with these scraps should not have projection set to  [elevation 75 deg].
 
When pdf version of xvi file is exported it means, that these scraps es1 .. es3 do not have [elevation 75 deg] projection. With exception of cross sections, it is not possible to have same scraps in different projections.

I have produced a section on a bearing using
 
export map -proj [elevation 075 deg] abc.xvi
 
Using this I have created sections across a cave showing passages at different levels along a sectional line.
These sections are scraps
 
es1
es2
es3
 
and create a map
 
map es
es1
es2
es3
endmap

 
export map -proj [elevation 075 deg] abc.pdf
export map -proj elevation abcd.pdf
 
But when this map is selected and a pdf is created, all is produces is a pdf version of the xvi file (abc.pdf,)(but not drawn sections just the centrelines/splays)
or an extended section but not on the bearing abcd.pdf. (ie the sections are produced but not in the correct places)
 
I have tried changing the scrap projection settings to no avail.
 
Any ideas
