[Therion] Pocket Topo Shot Direction question
The direction used for the extended elevation is set by the âFlipâ command in the drawing context menu. This completely independent of the shot direction set by the âShot ->â command.

[Therion] Pocket Topo Shot Direction question
Thanks. So I think I may have suspected that this option was the cause of the problem I was investigating. But it sounds like it is not related. What I am actually trying to work out is what is causing the text export file from a PocketTopo survey someone sent me to include a < character between the trip number [1] and the comment in double quotes. I've not seen this in any text files exported before, and I need to know what it indicates so I can update the parser in my cave converter program.

[Therion] Pocket Topo Shot Direction question
Hi Footleg The command has two meanings depending on what kind of data it is used: If used on a simple measurement from the current station (7.7 -> , if the current station is 7.7), it turns the measurement into a survey shot using the next station name (7.7 -> 7.8). If used on a survey shot (7.7 -> 7.8) it swaps the station names (to 7.8 -> 7.7). This reverses the direction of the shot. The direction shown in the menu (Shot -> or Shot <-) indicates the new direction used. It depends on the âReverseâ option when used on a simple measurement and on the current direction when used on a shot. So it is used 1) to turn a measurement into a shot if you do not want to make three measurements for some reason, and 2) if you occasionally measure a shot in the non-standard direction and quickly want to fix it.
