This command assigns strata and bed names to intervals in a geologic column view. This is a great tool for a geologist to do the on-screen correlating. Rows of geologic columns can be drawn, and correlated just by "picking" the intervals to connect with lines. Before starting this command, create geologic columns with the Draw Geologic Column command. The Fill option set to Outline Only can make it easier to pick the strata.
While viewing the geologic columns, pick the strata polylines to name on the left or right edge, or they can be selected with a window. Then a dialog appears where you can enter the strata name and an optional bed name. These names are saved back in the drillholes, or in the database. There is an option to connect the strata with the same names with lines. The one thing it does not do is update the text. The drillholes need to be drawn again to see that update.
