Mine Note Left/Right/Face is a simple routine for entering offsets. The flow of this routine is very similar to Mine Note from CooRD File. To get started, the routine only requires a starting point and a direction. Then enter a distance up followed by the offsets. The offsets consist of a code immediately before the distance. The codes are L for left, R for right, CL or *L for corner left, and CR or *R for corner right. For example, the offset CL9 means a corner point offset 9 feet to the left.
Corner points identify a corner of a pillar that is across a cross cut. Corner points are drawn as green dots and other points are drawn as red circles. This distinction is made to assist in pillar connection and is important to AutoMine Connections.
If the ASCII File From Notes option is on, this routine also produces a .DAT file which contains a record of the entries. This file is necessary for AutoMine Connections.
Enter Offset File Name <offset.dat>: press
Enter
Enter/Pick From Station Point: pick or Enter
a point
Entry Number: 1 This is an identification number for
the entries that follow. AutoMine Connections groups spad offsets
by this number.
Enter/Pick To Station Point (a for azimuth): pick or
Enter a point or enter A
Spad Number or <Enter> for none: 1043 This
number is drawn at the spad.
Flip Spad Text (Y/<N>)? N This determines the
orientation of the spad text.
