OK, you're right. That line must have got deleted at some point. So, it was a silly error, but given that this has taken some 6 weeks to solve with some fairly computer-savvy users, it suggests that the error messages could be rather more helpful. If it had said: "'survey' command missing before 'map' command", or "data must be enclosed in 'survey' at line blah", then we might have worked it out a bit quicker than 'invalid command context' which didn't help either of us, and so we started suspecting something complicated and looking through hex-dumps of the file! (this wasn't helped by my mistaken belief that it worked OK with 0.2.19 - sorry about that - "bloody users!"). >> It's very simple - in fact all therion commands must be placed between >> survey - endsurvey commands (survey context). And all 2D commands (point, >> line, area) must be placed between scrap - endscrap commands (scrap >> context). I'll send you your data files (once you have sent them to us) >> that work correctly. You can diff with your files to see the difference. OK - so it shouldn't be too hard to generate a much more user-helpful message when this doesn't happen. >> Thanks for your feedback, I hope it will work now (at least the files I >> will send you). Yep - I'm back in business. I'll upload therion 0.3.1 today and try and get some drawing done soon...
