Description

Hi, I'm exporting a .SVX file as .KLM format (to use with other GIS data, created by a friend). All fine, except that a ‘fix’ GPS point (in the.SVX file) with elevation, say, +100m will appear in the .KLM file as -100. Ditto for .SVX files exported as .GPX. That is, the sign of the elevation is flipped. (lats & longs are fine, I think - the original is in UTM, Survex turns them into degrees.) Results in a cave growing out of the earth. I am using this on Kangaroo Island, South Australia, caves with Aven 1.2.27, on an iMac running OS 10.15.7. What have I missed? Cheers, Heiko

with Aven 1.2.27

That version is just over 7 years old!

Looks like you're hitting a bug fixed in 1.2.32 (released nearly 6 years ago on 2017-07-08): 

  + In export formats which include 3 dimensions (DXF, PLT, GPX, KML, JSON,    
    POS), the value in the Z dimension was negated.  Bug introduced by fixes
    for export of rotated plans and tilted elevations in 1.2.27.  Reported by
    Erin Lynch in #89.

So you just need to upgrade...
