Draw Pillars

Draw Pillars creates a polyline in the PILLARS layer out of the points you pick. These points should compose the perimeter of a pillar. It is necessary to end picking points by entering C in order to make a closed polyline. Otherwise, inaccurate tonnages may result. Before using this routine, the points to connect can be placed using one of the Mine Note Entry commands. If, after drawing a series of pillars, you want to check to see that all of the pillars have been properly closed, use the Highlight Unclosed Polylines under the Works dropdown menu.
