[Therion] Correcting bad drawings

Hi again,
It would be good to have some advise on how people deal with mistakes in
sketches. For example:
I have scans of a survey which was drawn up in the field however the
centreline on this contains a blunder (a leg 180 degrees out). I can
trace the survey and give therion the correct centreline data, but it
produces a scrap with very large distortions around the blunder -- I
need to redraw a section of the scrap.
I can export a .xvi to draw around but that doesn't contain the outline
of the rest of the scarp to join in to. I can export a PDF or SVG but
that can't be imported as a background into xtherion. How do people
deal with this situation?
My current idea is to produce a PDF, render to PNG with ghostscript,
then import that into xtherion and overlay a .xvi (hoping they'll line
up) to get station LRUDs to draw round. Does anyone have an easier way,
I have a number of such things to correct?
Cheers,
John
