export continuation-list: Just one station decimal?
Hi folks, When drawing the scraps, I use the point symbol for continuation. We use "export continuation-list -filter off" the get the list, normally in html. Some observations: - The html list below has stations with only one decimal. Bug? - The txt list below has the same stations, but with several decimals, - which is correct. The same happens for the dbf-format. - One example is the station 5.78. It becomes 5.8 in the html-format. - The problem occurs to all our projects where we use the full stop as the decimal mark (PocketTopo surveying). One problem with the txt-file (and the dbf-file): I can't know whether the station named for instance 20.60000 is station 20.6 or station 20.60. Torstein
That looks like a very frustrating problem. I have used export continuation-list a lot since my first Therion days, manual surveying and Pocket Topo disto surveying, and have never seen that. I always get station names faithfully reproduced (presumably) as the text string they were entered with, ie 20.68 always comes out as 20.68 Is this happening on just one machine or just one dataset?

Two machines (it was a friend of mine who observed it first, we use dropbox) And all Therion projects with PocketTopo numbering as far as I can see. Torstein Den 01.09.2015 21:12, skrev Bruce:
