Compass (.dat) to Therion (.th) converter?
Hello, does anybody know if such a converter is available? Thanks, Marco
Hi Marco I have an excel macro tool which I use for such tasks. I have done this for my own and I'm using this Excel tool as my "database" for survey data. You can import different formats like compass, walls, therion, mnemo, pockettopo into Excel. And you can export to formats for Therion, Walls and Compass. This tool is still under progress but may be a help for your task. Unfortunately you can use it only with Windows and Excel. Let me know if you are interested. cheers, Torsten

Hi, in handling compass data I use the procedures described in this wiki page, written by Marco Corvi, which unfortunately I have found it only in italian language. In it is linked also a very nice perl script to convert dat files in therion. Tom Il giorno lun 7 gen 2019, 12:02 Torsten Schnitter via Therion < therion@speleo.sk> ha scritto:

Wow, I didn't know about that page, thanks... Maybe I missed it because I googled in English and Marco wrote it in Italian (quite unusual for him :-) ) Thanks, Marco Il giorno lun 7 gen 2019 alle ore 12:09 Tom via Therion <therion@speleo.sk> ha scritto:

You might also find the Cave Converter tool I wrote of some use. It doesn't convert to Therion, but it can read Compass.dat and convert to Survex. The survex files are not too difficult to then convert into Therion in a text editor: http://wscc.darkgem.com/caveconverter/ Footleg On Mon, 7 Jan 2019 at 11:18, Marco Menchise via Therion <therion@speleo.sk> wrote:

Hello Footleg, thanks, That's was the way I was exploring (by a Java tool written by me) before being aware of Marco's page. Thanks for the CaveConverter :-) Marco Il giorno lun 7 gen 2019 alle ore 12:29 Footleg via Therion < therion@speleo.sk> ha scritto:

Hmm, that makes the man page out of date, which does not mention compass as an input format. Turns out that's my fault for not updating it to keep sync with the code. Just fixed and uploaded (to debian). ($someone really should update caveconverter to output (and input) therion so it could do survex<->therion conversion because it's not hard but boring by hand) /me knows no java so I have resisted trying.

Defiantly do not use with out a backup version of the data, although it should not write to the original files, it has not been tested much

Hello Torsten, thank you for the reply. Unfortunately (or luckily, I don't know) I don't have windows so I can't use excel. :-( I'll try some other way. Thanks again, Marco Il giorno lun 7 gen 2019 alle ore 12:03 Torsten Schnitter via Therion < therion@speleo.sk> ha scritto:

Hi Martin I have not tried OpenOffice so far. But I doubt it will work. For example there is a difference in / and \ which is not coded in the macros so far. But anyhow I will give it a try. regards, Torsten

Another approach would be to process the Compass data with Survex to get a .3d file, then use that .3d file in your Therion .th file with something like: import cave.3d -surveys create See the samples/survex/ directory of the Therion source for some examples demonstrating this. The major difference is you get to keep the data in Compass format, which may or may not be helpful (it's helpful if you're wanting to collaborate with somebody still using the data in Compass, but less so if you want to do a one-off conversion to move away from using Compass).
