KML files

[Graham Mullan]

Hi Olly

Apologies for the cross-posting, that was a mistake on my part. I've always generated kml from Therion using a command in thconfig. I did not realise that you could export them from Aven. That has, however, answered my question. It does look like I'll have to tweak my data as the export isn't bringing everything across properly. So I'll keep playing.

Thanks
Graham

I'm not sure if you're asking about Survex or Therion since you cross-posted to both lists without saying which you're asking about.

(I'd generally ask people not to cross-post like this.  Most mailing lists these days are limited to posting by subscribers, so if someone subscribed to only one list replies to both their reply will be held for moderation by the other list, which creates extra work for the list admins).

In aven, just make sure the "entrances" checkbox in the export dialog isn't ticked, and you won't get pins for entrances.

In survexport, don't pass the `--entrances` command line option.
