The only solution I can see is to track which settings are in effect and reset them all after the *end. That's just about OK for automated conversion if nobody's going to want to edit the result, but it must be a right headache for anyone who has tried to hand convert a dataset so I'm wondering if there's some way to express this situation.
No, there is no such possibility. You have to repeat calibration every time it changes. I would rewrite your example this way: encoding iso8859-1 survey test -title "test" centreline calibrate tape 1 1 2 10 0 0 calibrate tape 2 2 3 10 0 0 calibrate tape 1 3 4 10 0 0 endcentreline endsurvey I'm just wondering, whether these situations are so common...
