[therion] How to change settings for just a few readings?
OK, I'll put it on the top of TODO list - at least now it seems to be like a very simple thing to implement. Regards, S.

There is no problem to add somethig like group-endgroup pair inside centerline, if it will really help you (or I can use just begin-end pair if you wish). Then it could be rewritten this way: centreline calibrate tape 1 1 2 10 0 0 group calibrate tape 2 2 3 10 0 0 endgroup 3 4 10 0 0 endcentreline Or do you see some other trivial solution of this problem?

That seems like the most natural solution; it directly mirrors an unlabeled begin-end pair in survex data. I see no need for the syntax to actually be begin/end, and group/endgroup sounds ideal. Thanks, it would tidy up one of the few edge cases in mapping survex data to therion centrelines. John

No, there is no such possibility. You have to repeat calibration every time it changes. I would rewrite your example this way: encoding iso8859-1 survey test -title "test" centreline calibrate tape 1 1 2 10 0 0 calibrate tape 2 2 3 10 0 0 calibrate tape 1 3 4 10 0 0 endcentreline endsurvey I'm just wondering, whether these situations are so common...

I'd say common enough on fairly large survey projects, especially those under exploration/expedition conditions where the surveying is done in a hurry and the chances of going back and correcting iffy readings are low. I quite often make use of changing the SD for particular legs where it's known that the survey wasn't done to the general standard. In general the SD is defined in a separate file which I *include in the survex data. Having to undo that separation when using therion, and repeat the definition of the SD, is a shame, and makes converting data harder (as I first attempt I've usually just ignored changes in SD and put a comment in the .th file). Yours, John

It happens 8 times in CUCC's Austria dataset. Cheers, Olly
