Possible Bug

[Olly Betts]

Thanks for your bug reports Peter - I'm replying to the survex list so
others are aware of them.

I enabled a turn of piece consistency check in the source code in 0.98-pre1.
Turns out it was disabled for a reason - it checks something which doesn't
have to be true, so you get errors when there's nothing wrong.  This will be
fixed in the next prerelease.

I'm not able to test printwin myself (I don't have access to a Windows
machine with a printer).  Has anyone else tried printwin (it's called by the
"Print" option in the right-button menu of a .3d file).

Otherwise, Phil Underwood wrote printwin - any ideas Phil?

I think this is my fault - I added the "Convert to DXF" option, but in such
a way as it wipes out the "Open in aven" option.  This should be fixed in
the next prerelease.
