There is no atlas exported (it's already commented out :-) . In fact I have fixed it by changing scale and base-scale till I get something 'about right'. It works OK when cave is small in comparison to Legend, but not with big cave and tiny legend. I will investigate more. >> The background >> images have for sure nothing to do with PDF size.

OK - I was avoiding loading xtherion up (takes time :-) thanx again - I've now got a survey good enough for the compass Pints front cover :-) Wookey -- Aleph One Ltd, Bottisham, CAMBRIDGE, CB5 9BA, UK Tel +44 (0) 1223 811679 work: http://www.aleph1.co.uk/ play: http://www.chaos.org.uk/~wookey/
