[Therion] Xtherion - User defined areas in Map Editor

[Steve Clark]

I may be missing something here, apologies if I'm making an obvious error!

I am having difficultly with user defined areas in the Map Editor (v. 
5.3.14)

When I want to draw a user defined line (eg. u:divingline), I just enter 
u:divingline in the 'type' box  of the Lines section and it works fine.

When I try to draw a user-defined area (eg. u:lake), I enter u:lake in 
the 'type' box it automatically fills in the 'options' box with -subtype 
lake. I can't seem to find any way of entering a user-defined area in 
the Map Editor such that it appears correctly in the text of the .th2 
file as 'area u:lake'

I can correct it by manually editing the .th2 file in the text editor 
and it works fine, but whenever I open and then save the .th2 file again 
in the map editor it reverts to 'u -subtype lake'.

Any help much appreciated.

Regards,

Steve Clark

[Therion] Selective display of survey lines

[Footleg]

I would certainly suggest that some sort of diveline symbol is used, as
that is really what you are wanting to indicate. Then you can turn off all
survey lines (which just happen to correspond to the dive line position in
this case).
