PocketTopo Exported data image import bug
I do not seem to be able to get the attached PocketTopo therion export format data file to import into the map editor properly. Using Therion 5.3.9. The xvi either fails to be inserted, or appears without the survey centreline and stations. I have not had this problem with other data files. Could it be the overall size of this sketch? Footleg
Not sure why but the xvi file lines 2 to 5 are set XVIstations { } set XVIshots { } looking at my other data, this is where the legs and station should be. Looking at the Stomps2010th.txt file lines 272 to 274 we have PLAN STATIONS SHOTS This is where the stations and shots should be, so it looks like it is not coming correctly out of PocketTopo Have you got the original top file. If so does this show up on PocketTopo with the centre line. Exactly the same happens with the other Matienzo Maze090722 that you have (I have not sent it to the list as it is not my data) For that file adding a new first line of 1.0 1.22 0 0 0 brought the centreline back on Pockettopo then exporting it and the Therion import worked. It would be interesting to know how you are making these files, also how PocketTopo desides which station is at (0,0) or even if (0,0) is used for the first station Andrew On 15/03/12 21:16, Footleg wrote:

The xvi ... appears <in Xtherion> without the survey centreline and stations.
That is what happened for me when I imported your sketch into XTherion. Just a guess. Check that PocketTopo is happy with the connectivity of all the *.top files in the source folder. I have never had this problem, but regularly mess up the station coord table in PocketTopo and it can only partially draw the survey network or sketch. I imagine that this would all need to be in order before a reliable export to therion could be made. It can be easy to inadvertently delete the anchoring station coordinates, or inadvertently create anchoring station coordinates that are mutually exclusive/clash with each other when all of the files in a folder are considered together (which is how PocketTopo considers them). I imagine that might create the effect observed if it was not resolved prior to the export. Bruce
I have also seen this happen when the numbering system for the different surveys is not unique. michael -----Original Message----- From: therion-bounces@speleo.sk [mailto:therion-bounces@speleo.sk] On Behalf Of Bruce Sent: Friday, 16 March 2012 5:49 p.m. To: 'List for Therion users' Subject: Re: [Therion] PocketTopo Exported data image import bug
