Therion 5.2.7 comes with a pt2pdf.pl script which does a direct conversion of the 'therion' pockettopo export file into a PDF file containing the data in 3 column format and then the actual rendered plan and elevation, over 4 pages.
I guess that's useful as something you could import and draw over, but it seems useless for importing the actual data. It is this script I rewrote to just turn the 'therion export' format file into something which therion could actually understand directly.
pt2pdf is intended for archivation. It will be included as a tool in xtherion in the future (this is the reason why it is not documented yet). You can already import 'therion export' from PocketTopo directly into latest XTherion: - centerline in text editor - File->Import->PocketTopo therion export - sketches in map editor - Backgroud Images->Insert->PocketTopo therion export
Who writes PocketTopo? Is the code available so we could just make it directly export both survex and therion data? (and so we could port it to Linux perhaps).
