[Therion] Paperless Cave Survey with DistoX, PocketTopo and Therion

[Ben Cooper]

Has anyone achieved the reverse?  I'd like to export an existing Therion
survey into PocketTopo, so that when I add to the survey using the DistoX, I
can immediately see the new and the old data in PocketTopo.
Regards,
- Ben
