Thanks for the help.
Generated my first pdf plan and profile with UTM/elevation and xvi file for drawing map. I love how automatic many of these things are. I am feeling hopeful about Therion now. I am stoked to finally finish the maps of Arch, Resonance, and Glory ‘ole and hopefully later this summer we will connect them all to make it at least Canada’s second longest Cave. If I get this working, I’m sure I can convince some other Canadian cavers to use Therion. Then again I can’t even get them to use Walls. Many are still using On Station. I think the speed and flexibility of output with win them over.
One tiny annoyance. One of the surveyors last names is von Vorkampff and Therion gives and “invalid name format” error message. I changed it to von_Vorkampff and bypassed the error but with sub par final map output - it says von.Vorkampff
Again, thanks for helping me out. I’m sure I’ll have more questions later.
