Anyway you may use all morphed sketches in one final scrap (Torsten). Take care if you add another xvi file it will go above of recent one. So the way is to switch visibility of mesh (xvi itself) to off and move morphed sketch (xvi - IMGn) to correct position: select that sketch in "Background images" field, check coordinates of cursor (lover right corner of map editor window) where you want to place it, write those coordinates to fields next of “Move to” and press Enter. Manually move sketch to exact position. There is the bug in Therion that th2 file will remember only 3 such positions. For fourth and next you should repeat that last step after you open th2 file again.

To move to your sketch is the shortest way to click on point or line in “Object section” - on the top of sections menu.

Thank you for your research!

Extra points define distance from nearest station. You may use the L and R distance (or U D for elevation) or the calculated distance from splay shots. For spreadsheets it is:



delta_l: =F22*COS(E22*PI()/180)
delta_h: =F22*SIN(E22*PI()/180)
