[Therion] warning -- equate used to define new station

[Bruce Mutton]

Looks like what you are calling a solution is what I would call a bug.

Assuming that the warning is the correct response from Therion when a new station is defined using ‘equate’…

 

You have broken that by adding a ‘no-survey’ shot between the new station and the original station, and making your survey data more complicated in the process.

 

Surely it is reassuring to have Therion confirm to you that you have created a new station simply by equating to a non-existent station.  Usually this would not be an intended action, so the warning is appropriate and reassuring.

 

I suggest this be added to the list of bugs to be fixed – ie ensure that no-survey does not supress ‘equate used to define new station’ warning.

Hi, Bruce

Fixed at cave is a nonexistent station (nor defined nor fixed). Therion is right with warning but it is exactly what I need. I'm try to define station in upper namespace for link to it from other places. It is worked proper but throw a warning...

After the experiments I found a workaround. This code removes warning but it a bit verbose and not obvious...

survey cave
  centerline
    data nosurvey from to 
    Fixed Fixed at some.path.at.cave <mailto:Fixed at some.path.at.cave> 
    equate Fixed Fixed at some.path.at.cave <mailto:Fixed at some.path.at.cave> 
  endcenterline
endsurvey

So, to clarify my understanding of your example.
Fixed at cave = is for example a gps coordinate, defined elsewhere with a fix statement.
Fixed at some.path.at.cave <mailto:Fixed at some.path.at.cave>  = is a survey station that is defined in a survey, for that same location.
Fixed at other.path.at.cave <mailto:Fixed at other.path.at.cave>  = is another survey station that is defined in, perhaps, some other survey.
All three stations represent exactly the same physical location.
