Good morning
I've just started getting metapost exit code - 3 errors.
It looks like this is happening due to some statements in data.mp that have
no beginfig - endfig wrappers. But this is not the root cause.
The calling thconfig used to work, and I've tried compiling with Therion
versions created prior to creating this thconfig. Other thconfig files in
the dataset continue to work without error. So this points to a problem I
have created in my dataset somewhere.
This problem occurs when any type of pdf output attempts to export (plan,
extended or elevation), but not otherwise.
Based on the highlighted statements below, does anyone have any clues as to
where I should start looking?
Thanks
Bruce
