Re: [Therion] Converting SVG files to Therion th2 format

[Juergen Bohnert]

Hi Wookey,

yes that would be nice!

It would also speed up the reverse engineering process dramatically,  
since one then could generate one "super scrap" (1 -2 km length) of  
all extracted layers and simply break it up into smaller scraps,  
thereafter.

Meanwhile, I have gained more experience with the svg to th2  
conversion and it works surprisingly well even with the large Corel  
Draw maps.
I have now changed my strategy a bit and manually extract all symbols  
of one kind (e.g. rocks, contour lines) using Inkscape and save them  
as a separate th2 files with the correct line description. Then I  
combine everything in a single th2 file using a text editor.

However, I had to break up one 1 km section into two 500 m scraps  
since editing the very large scrap turned out to be too slow with the  
Therion map editor.

So I guess the suggested scrap limit of ~100 m is mainly based on  
editing speed.
