[Therion] Pocket Topo on windows 10?

[Xavier Pennec]

Thanks Nick for the tips. I know most of them, but as you said it is 
good to have them written down in an up to date version for everyone.

I am actually not using a PDA for the topo underground, I am still 
drawing manually and noting every survey measurement and LRUD. However, 
I like to download the data from the distoX afterward to get the exact 
splay shots instead of just LRUD.

I got the .Net finally working (I just needed to find the correct iso 
version of win10 enterprise), and Pocket Topo is now working.

Best

Xavier

> You can then save your .top file on to an SD card then get it into your pc with a card reader or whatever which means you do not have to use the very clunky Windows mobile. After that use Top Parser to create all your Therion files. If you are not aware of this method try it's by far the easiest and quickest way of getting your Topo data into Therion. Try it once and you won't go back to the manual way I can assure you.

> As a side issue if you are using your Disto X and sketching on paper you run the real risk of including any Disto errors in the data you eventually download and you may never notice. Sketching on a PDA shows errors straight away and you can correct on site. I learnt this the hard way.
