These seem to print reversed so they don't fit with the underground legs (Julian said this is something to do with the difference between what Survex and what the printer takes as the page origin).

Hi

I have been successfully using Survex for many years – a fantastic piece of software.

After completing a partial re-survey of Upper Canada Cave (Mendip, UK) yesterday I created the text file as usual and renamed it with the .svx extension. I decided to see if there was an update of the Survex software and I updated from release 1.2.23 to 1.2.24. Right clicked in the Upper Canada Cave.svx file and the Aven screen was displayed with normal headings but with a white screen where the line survey should be. No Log File, 3D file or Error files were created.

I tried viewing one of my old 3D files in Aven (UCC.3D) and it worked perfectly; however when I tried to Process the old data file (UCC.svx) the same error occurred as detailed in the paragraph above.

I then removed Survex 1.2.24 from my computer and reinstalled 1.2.23 but the same error occurred as detailed in the paragraph above.

Please could you let me know how to fix this as I would dearly like to see the results of yesterdays survey. Something stupid that I have, or have not done I’m sure.

Many thanks

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.
