Error "The input projection is set but the output projection isn't"

[Bill Gee]

Hi Adam -

It works but not quite the way I expected.

I see that the SVX file I tried to attach did not come through, so I will embed some stuff directly in the message.  I changed the first few lines of the file to read like this:

*begin GeronimoSpringsCave ;Geronimo Springs Cave

*cs long-lat
*cs out long-lat
*fix A1 -93.05223 37.93132 288
*begin ; Trip 1
*date 2020.11.01

That resulted in a different error message:

Survex 1.4.1
Copyright © 1990-2021 Olly Betts
Geronimo.svx:4:9: error: Coordinate system unsuitable for output
 *cs out long-lat
         ^~~~~~~~

What???  If it is good for input, then why is it not good for output?  Another undocumented feature!

I changed the first few lines to

*begin GeronimoSpringsCave ;Geronimo Springs Cave

*cs long-lat
*cs out UTM15N
*fix A1 -93.05223 37.93132 288
*begin ; Trip 1
*date 2020.11.01

And this time it worked without error.  I was able to load the .3d file into Aven, and from there create a KML file which was the real goal of this exercise.

Thanks!
