[Therion] Best practice - orientation of original sketch?

[Bruce]

My comments written some years ago
http://therion.speleo.sk/wiki/doku.php/do#plan_rotation discuss some other
implications and frustrations of sketch scan orientations and map output
rotations.  These days I just choose an orientation for the map before the
first survey of the cave system, and adopt that for all scans of survey
sketches and outputs.  Problems solved but flexibility lost.  For surveys
that do not conform, all is not lost, they are just trickier to process.

I don't think scrap size/length has much relationship to the number of
sketches in a th2 file. 
I always try to draw many short scraps (rather than few long ones) and 95%
of the time keep to one survey per th2 file.  But if for example I have
paper surveys (ie not PocketTopo) and that teams survey for the day is say
1km long, then there may be many separate scanned sketches inserted into
that file.  If I have n scans, I probably need to have at least n scraps,
but usually I will have many more than n scraps for reasons unrelated to the
number of scans/sketches.

Wookey, and there is any reason to have more than one sketch in one file?
Just make shorter scraps :)
