[Therion] Pocket Topo Shot Direction question

[Footleg]

Thank you Beat. That explains why I have never seen it in my data. I have
not yet flipped an extended elevation in PocketTopo. Now I can update my
cave converter to handle text export files with these characters knowing
what they are for.

I had an enquiry as to what this converter tool was I an talking about.
Details can be found here for those who are interested:
