Drillhole Import
This command allows you import existing drillhole files. When you
select Drillhole Import from the Drillhole menu, a command prompt
shows:
"Use separate drillhole and strata files [Yes/<No>]?"
If you have two separate files, one with strata info, and the other
file has drillhole locations, select Yes. If you enter Yes,
the dialog box below appears.
This command creates drillholes from the data contained in text
files. Currently there are many company-specific
formats. A Drillhole Data File Formatter that is flexible to
handle almost any drillhole text file format is below. The format
to use is chosen in the dialog shown here. The import text can have comma
delimited, space delimited or fixed width columns of data. All the
data for a record should be on one row. For the fixed width format,
choose the Fixed Width toggle and then enter the column numbers
separated by spaces in the edit box. For example, "8 15 24 32".
The Custom format can import all the drillhole and strata data
from one text file or the drillhole data from one file and the
strata data from another file. The method to use is set at the Use
separate drillhole and strata files prompt.
