This quirk has been in Aven since whenever. I suspect that most people, like me, have just ignored it since it doesn't impede use of the software; it's merely a cosmetic defect.

As an example, the depth scale on the survey I'm currently looking at is labelled starting at -1.14e-10mm. This is plainly spurious... we try hard to maintain a reasonable degree of survey precision, but I think that the nearest metre should usually be acceptable on Aven's depth scale!

general notion: it should be possible to process subsurveys from a file. e.g. cavern --survey surveyname would only process that named survey (and anything it contains). This would allow processing of structured survex data as if it were split into multiple files, but allowing more freedom in how files are structured, is useful in identifying lengths of segments (especially when a survex file may not be processable on it's own due to disjoint segments)

This would also be potentially useful in implementing loop-closure tools.

Currently, printing scales for aven's print dialogue are a series of static values, and a magic "fit to page". As an american, I usually sketch underground at "odd" scales: 1:240, 1:300, 1:480, and 1:600 (inch to 20, 25, 40, and 50 feet, respectively). If I want to e.g. plot on a printout, the math gets very difficult with US-units survey. It probably doesn't make sense to add these scales to the list of options, though. A solution to this problem would be "custom" print scales.
