Hi Martin, thanks for the offer, but I will also not be able to attend :-) Anyway, I think it is time to say thank you for the wonderful program that you guys have created! I think it is really a revolution in drafting of cave surveys! However, I have one suggestion: Therion is particularly good at exporting a wide variety of formats ranging from CAD to GIS thus making it very handy for all kinds of post-precessing. The only problem that I have is that me and my friends have a couple of cave maps that were drafted before the advent of Therion using several commercially available CAD programs like CorelDraw, Adobe Illustrator or AutoCAD. I would however like to be able to convert at least the cave outline if not the whole cave map to the Therion format to make use of the excellent features of this software e.g. direct shapefile export and display of dynamic cave maps. Therefore my question is: have you ever considered implementing a filter or even a standalone program that could import vector graphics from other CAD software? I understand that due to the special scrap structure and hierarchy of Therion maps this might not be an easy task but I feel that it might be doable by simply converting svg files (which can be easily generated by almost all CAD software available) to some sort of intermediate Therion format that could than be manually adjusted to the personal needs. What do you think? Best Regards from California, Juergen Zitat von Philip Schuchardt <ohc@vt.edu>:
Errrr. I wish I could come...

I'll stay in London on March 30 -- April 2. If anybody would like to discuss Therion and its future, we could arrange a meeting one evening.
