Mihai Somehow I don't seem to have received the message with the archive file attached, and I cannot find it in the forum archive (which is unusual).
I have noticed that on rare occasions I don't get a message posted to the forum. Someone's over enthusiastic spam filter I suppose. Perhaps you could re-post or by personal mail?

This way, the .xvi file is not a simple vector drawing, with only the centerline, but a more complex one, with also the scanned images (which is a raster data) morphed to match the centerline (the vector data). Indeed I cannot scale or rotate any of the two components of the .xvi file (the vector, with the centerline, and the raster, with the scanned images) inside Xtherion. But I keep separate scrap file, one for morphing the scanned image, and one for drawing over the morphed image. This way I can modify anytime the first scrap, e.g. by adding more station points to get a better morphed image, I recompile and I get an .xvi which will be updated in every scrap that I'm using to draw the cave. I sent an archive with my data to the list on a previous message. You can look at and compile first the thconfig_xvi, than thconfig_pdf. Mihai www.iser.ro
