Bruce, Again thanks for all your help.
In your attachment you had some mention of where to put low-level map definitions. Could you explain the benefits of placing map definitions: 1) in the file outside of surfer/endsurvery 2) in the file inside of at and the start of survey/endsurvey 3) in separate file It seems like you've given this a lot of thought and would choose differently if you were starting out again and since I am just starting out I'd like to understand more. Rob The survey network and map hierarchies are then tied together in INDEX.th files [If I were to start my 'Therion life' again, I would place the map definitions inside of, and at the start of the survey-endsurvey block to promote ease of use and simpler map references in INDEX files. The above structure was intended to make maps independent of surveys (which is preferred), but I did not think it through â to achieve that we would have to have map definitions in separate files. Separate files would work OK, but would increase the number or size of files. At the time, we chose not to go this way. Another time, I might choose differently.
