This morning's bright idea was a way of labelling only selected grids (or indeed any fixed point) in my finished plan view maps.
I make a small dummy survey that contains fixed survey stations only at the grid co-ordinates that I wish to label. This is referenced in my CaveINDEX.th file using the input statement. Then a small scrap that contains the above roughly placed survey stations and on top of these a point label for each of the x and y co-ordinate labels. Advantages: Only get labels where you want them (a big advantage). Can format them as you see fit. Disadvantages: A little bit labour intensive. Subject to user error, as the co-ord text is manually input (maybe this is a contender for a new therion object along the lines of the existing 'point altitude' eg point x-coord and point y-co-ord) Survex, if installed points out that you have some disconnected stations - not really a problem. The number of survey stations reported by Therion is a few too many. The attached files illustrate. Note that each apparently single point is actually three points superposed on each other. Right-click each point to see definition of the underlying point(s). Enjoy Bruce -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
