Mining Project Manager

This command sets the current file names used for several Carlson definition files. For example, this command assigns the Drillhole Configuration file (.ch file) to be used for drillhole placement in other routines such as Place Drillhole and Drillhole Data Sheet. Mining Project Manager lets you set up different groups of definitions. For example, if you work with two mines, then you can have two sets of strata definitions (strata1.sdf and strata2.sdf), two sets of equipment definitions (equip1.equ and equip2.equ), etc. Mining Project Manager only selects the file names to use. The files are actually created by their own routines. For example, the Define Strata command creates strata definition (.sdf) files. When you run the associated definition routines, these routines load the file names set in Mining Project Manager. For example when you run Define Strata, this routine will load the .SDF file set in Mining Project Manager.

All the file names in Mining Project Manager are saved with the drawing in the drawing .INI file. You can also save this set of file names to a mining project file (.mpj) by picking the Save button. The Load button will then recall the set of file names from the selected .MPJ file.

In SurvCADD 98 and earlier, there was only one file for each of these definition types. You can convert these previous definitions to the new naming format by picking the Recall button. For each old definition file that the program finds, you will be prompted to enter a new file name. For example, in SurvCADD 98 the strata definitions were stored in a file called corehole.dta. If the recall procedure finds a corehole.dta, you can then rename it to the new naming convention of strata.sdf.
