>Sorry for the slightly off topic reply but AFAIU your dataset having station unique names allows you to set -namespace off which could save some work but you don't have to and as you already know that some other parts of your dataset needs -namespace on, why bother with -namespace off?<br>
<br>
Because the existing dataset that it is proposed to migrate (using a custom script):<br>
- is large with many surveys and sub-surveys<br>
- Therion implicitly defaults to -namespace on for every single survey<br>
- with that setting, survey stations, although unique across surveys, cannot be seen unless a namespace is specified<br>
- therefore it will not compile until -namespace off is set in each relevant survey and sub-survey.<br>
<br>
A decade ago, before I was particularly aware of 'survey -namespace', I migrated this same dataset, and not being aware I could turn it off, had to manually equate stations to join all the surveys, and equate loops where they involved more than one survey. I only did half of it before I got fed up. I realise now that -namespace off is the solution, and that it can be put in the custom script.<br>
But in the meantime I have some native Therion sub-projects that I want to merge into the migrated project, that, of course, use and rely on the implicit default of -namespace on because the stations are not unique (each survey has the station sequence 1 2 3 4 ...). I do not have an appetite to manually make these stations unique, even using -station-names to modify them it will be too painful.<br>
<br>
Hence I am testing the idea of projects where some surveys have -namespace on and some -namespace off.<br>
I could modify one of my existing projects to see what happens, but before doing that I am interested to find out if others have experience with this scenario.<br>
<br>
