HI Topodroid mailing list,

I am trying to get some therion files to work with the data that has come from Topodroid, I have attached the original data file [silvestre_pot_2.th]. and also my amended data file [Electronica.th]. (also the th2 and config file).

Therion keeps coming back with errors about the numbers being too big, or having other problems with the numbers.

If any of you can help, it would be great!

Alastair,

questions about Therion should be sent to Therion list, where you can get better replies, and the questions be useful to other Therion users as well.

that said, the problem lies in the thconfig, and more precisely in the local layout.
this has a command to hide the cave centerline. on the other hand there is no input for the scrap file (all input's in the th file are commented).
therefore Therion has nothing to compute the size of the map, and that is the source of all those obscure complaints by TeX

HI Marco,

I've got an output. Many thanks, your pointers put me in the right direction. :)

I'm new to Topodroid, so wasn't used to the way it outputted data and sketches. But given my PDA (running Pockettopo) ran out of battery at the top of Electronica, and then would not charge for the following day. I think I may find myself a convert...


Regards,
Alastair Gott.
