[Therion] Sketches on doesn't work / legacy survey

You have not included the file hoehle.jpg so I cannot test the compilation including the sketch.

I have not had problems getting sketches to plot in pdfs.

Your scrap only has one point in it, so that would be my first place to look.  I suspect you need at least two station points to orient the sketch to the scrap – at least that is how I have always done it.

I also suggest plotting the survey centreline while you are going through the debugging process – I couldn’t make that work in your example just now – brain fade.

Hello cavers,

 

currently I try to work with some legacy survey which are the original survey data and the final map with scale bar but without marked stations. My intention is to geo-reference the existing map (i.e. attaching the entrance location to the UTM grid) and use it in a cave atlas of the area. I don't want to redraw the whole map in Therion. 

 

I followed the directions given in the therion wiki and entered the survey data and the resulting model in Loch looks fine and plausible. After that I created a scrap with the scanned map (projection plan) and scaled it using the scale bar and the scaling tool of Xtherion map editor. I marked the location of the first survey station at the cave entrance and in the layout section of my thconfig I turned on sketch export. Unfortunately it doesn't work. The generated pdf only contains the map header (with wrong length and depth statistics btw!) and a short part of the first survey shot. I expect the whole scanned background image to be visible and in scale in the pdf. Honestly said I never got the "sketches on" working with any of my old and new maps. What I am doing wrong? Any pointer to the right direction is highly appreciated. 

 

Best regards and thanks in advance,

 

Roger
