Yes. A friend of mine (Svein Grundstrøm) and I got the problem this year as well. He developed a solution in Access (some tables and the aid of Visual Basic) that handles the problem programmatically. Two conditions apply:
- The two th2-files (source and target files) must have a common point (station) from which the coordinate differences can be calculated.
- The two th2-files must have the same ratio between scale and resolution. The problem will maybe be solved in a later version, since the information needed is in the bottom part of the xvi-file.
If the source file contains more than one scrap, all of them are transferred. If one single scrap from a multi-scrap th2-file is to be moved, we must isolate the wanted scrap in a new th2-file before moving it.
This works fine for us. The main result was that we avoided to "code" some complicated joins.
But, did you Andrew create something similar? Or perhaps someone else has?
Sorry I did my original by had, well very short script to just as the difference to the number pairs. Not needed it since so not done anything further Andrew
It would be nice to have a feature like this in the Therion map editor. But I guess that could be considered only if others think it's useful.
