You have not included the file hoehle.jpg so I cannot test the compilation 
including the sketch.

I have not had problems getting sketches to plot in pdfs.

Your scrap only has one point in it, so that would be my first place to look.  
I suspect you need at least two station points to orient the sketch to the 
scrap – at least that is how I have always done it.

I also suggest plotting the survey centreline while you are going through the 
debugging process – I couldn’t make that work in your example just now – brain 
fade.

Subject: [Therion] Sketches on doesn't work / legacy survey

 

Hello cavers,

 

currently I try to work with some legacy survey which are the original survey 
data and the final map with scale bar but without marked stations. My intention 
is to geo-reference the existing map (i.e. attaching the entrance location to 
the UTM grid) and use it in a cave atlas of the area. I don't want to redraw 
the whole map in Therion. 

 

I followed the directions given in the therion wiki and entered the survey data 
and the resulting model in Loch looks fine and plausible. After that I created 
a scrap with the scanned map (projection plan) and scaled it using the scale 
bar and the scaling tool of Xtherion map editor. I marked the location of the 
first survey station at the cave entrance and in the layout section of my 
thconfig I turned on sketch export. Unfortunately it doesn't work. The 
generated pdf only contains the map header (with wrong length and depth 
statistics btw!) and a short part of the first survey shot. I expect the whole 
scanned background image to be visible and in scale in the pdf. Honestly said I 
never got the "sketches on" working with any of my old and new maps. What I am 
doing wrong? Any pointer to the right direction is highly appreciated. 

 

Best regards and thanks in advance,

 

Roger
