do you have an old version of th2_output.inx and th2_output.py? Sorry  
for the hassle, my new set of plugin files replaces the previously  
published export plugin (available from http://therion.speleo.sk/wiki/doku.php?id=inkscape) 
. The new output plugin does not have a "Line Type" option anymore in  
favour of on-canvas annotation.

I'll have look at that, thanks.
