Hello everyone -

I am struggling with a couple of survey shots that Therion is not 
interpretting correctly.  It might be a bug in how Therion averages forward 
and backward compass when the readings are near 360 and 180 degrees.

Here is a block of centerline data.  The two shots causing problems are B8-B9 
and B14-B15.

  B17 BM1 15.5 348.5 -5 168.5 4 4 10 15 4


As you can see, this passage is going basically straight north.  Therion 
interprets both shots as having a forward compass reading of 180, with result 
that the compiled map has the passage going backward on itself.  If I replace 
the back compass with a dash, then the map compiles correctly.

I tried reversing the forward and backward compass readings, but it made no 
difference.

One of the shots (B11-B12) has compass readings of exactly 0 and 180.  This 
shot displays correctly on the map.

Any thoughts?

Thanks - Bill Gee
