[Therion] Editing svg therion results

[Xavier Pennec]

Hi

One of the things that I would like to do with the maps generated by 
Therion is embedding plans and elevations in a single document, 
especially for small caves, and rework on subparts of the plans and 
elevations to put some specific features into evidence for figures in a 
text explaining things about the cave (or in this case the mine).

I thought that it would be easy with any svg editor, but apparently this 
is not the case at all. I can open and visualize the svg files produced 
by therion using inkscape, but I cannot degroup the drawing in order to 
edit some of the parts and, more importantly, importing the plan and the 
elevation in  a single document lead to an incorrect result (see 
NaduelRD5_fuse.svg). It seems that there is a namespace problem: as both 
drawing refer to elements that have the same name, so that the 
definition of one of the drawing overwrite the definitions of the other.

Does anybody have an idea of how to overcome that? Is there any other 
svg editor that behaves better (and which is not too expensive!)?

By the way, it would be interesting to have a north arrow symbol that we 
can place wherever we want in a plan and not only a north arrow 
generated in the legend. That way, we could avoid using legends when 
needed (e.g. to fuse maps outside therion).

Thanks

Xavier
