[Therion] XVI export with map selected is not working

[Torsten Schnitter]

Hi

Thanks Vasily for your infos.

Concerning question three this did work.
So I already got what I wanted to get but didn't recognized it because the LRUD
infos where with white colour on a white background. *gnnn*
Giving a colour to the map foreground or to the background is a good idea then.
;-)

Concerning question one it does not work with your help. I'm sorry.
Normally unselect is not necessary if you use a select statement for the first
time.
In this case the default is unselect all before selecting this specific part.
But I gave it a try and it didn't work either.
With unselect all and then selecting my map (consisting only of surveys) the
output was totally empty.
But if I replace a survey with a scrap inside this map everything is working as
expected.

To be more detailed I'm trying to do the following:
(I left the namespaces to keep it simple)
map xyz -proj plan
  survey1
  survey2
endmap

select map xyz

export map -fmt pdf -proj plan -o ....pdf

But this doesn't work.
But if I do the same without using a map:
(this is not really an option. much to error-prone)

select survey1
select survey2
export map -fmt ....

Then I get what I want to have.
Anybody any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Concerning question two:
Are there any plans for future releases to have a option for xvi exports like:
–disable splay-shots ?

Thanks,
Torsten
