[Therion] map-connection does not display if map is both offset and not offset

[Bruce Mutton]

Thanks for the suggestion Marco.

I think what you suggest is what I was already doing, however I decided to try 
yet another level of hierarchical separation, but it also did not work.

However I think the effect you are pointing me to is what is in-play here 
https://therion.speleo.sk/wiki/mapconnectors?s[]=offset 
<https://therion.speleo.sk/wiki/mapconnectors?s%5b%5d=offset> 

I’ll tinker with it some more…  For me it is really only a debug process while 
I am drawing, so it is best if it soes not require special structures to 
activate and deactivate.

@bruce

 

that was a nice remark.

 

i think that if you put scrap1 in map1 and scrap2 in map2, and then combine in 
a final map containing

   map1

   map2 […] above/below

   map2

 

and select the final map, then you get scrap1 and scrap2 in place,

and also scrap2 offseted and the map-connection line

I just discovered some behaviour that I did not expect.

When a scrap has a point map-connection, any exports of that scrap have a
dotted line from the 'true' location of the point map-location to the
'offset' location.  Right?

These two examples show what is expected.  The first with a single copy of
an offset map, and the second with two offset copies of the map.

However, if there is also a copy of the map that is not offset, then all of
the map-connection points are hidden.  I tried using the -visibility on
option for the point map-connection, that that had no effect.

The image below shows an example of this behaviour.



Although it is not very often that I want to show a map both in its proper
location and offset, it seems to me that one should be able to do it and
also have the map-connection points display properly for the offset maps.

Is this a bug perhaps?
