Well, I've not be very active here since the first french translation (for
produced maps), but I guess that I could use this opportunity to come back (;-)

Yes Stacho, this can be a first useful approach.
Of course there are many users of Vtopo in france (and more generaly in french)
so this could be a large user community.

A (not very optimised, but nevertheless useful scenario) scenario could be:
- use your Vtopo data to print a centerline + LRUD information, draw and
  scan the onscale hand drawings (plan and extended elevation)
- automaticaly get the therion centerline data
- draw the scratches with therion map editor, and use some naming schemas to
  relate them.

The fisrt limit to this approach is that Vtopo has no naming structure, so
usually people get huge vtopo files with all surveyx of a given cave inside.

At best they use the "merge" feature, when dealing with several caves in a
given area (but the merge is based on entrance coordinates, and I've not found
a way to twist this feature to deal with surveyx within a given cave, with
potential joins inside).

So you'll get a single big .th file, possibly with several survey sequence
within (with diffrenet instruments settings and declination).
No theoritcal problem there, just difficulties whne managing big dat sets.
