Graphic Drillhole Report

This command creates a graphic drillhole log of the selected drillholes. It displays drillhole data such as depth, thickness, geological hatch patterns, and any attributes in the drillhole.

• Horizontal Scale: Sets the scale of the drawing. This usually matches the Horizontal Scale found in Drawing Setup, but not always.
  
• Vertical Scale: Controls the vertical exaggeration of the plot. If this value is less than the Horizontal Scale, then it will be vertically exaggerated. For example H100:V50 will be a 2:1, or 2X vertical exaggeration.
  
• Linework Layer: This setting controls the layer that the linework is drawn for the boundaries, rows and columns.
  
• Linework Color: This sets the color of the linework.
• Label Water Level: This option draws a triangle symbol at the water level in the depth scale bar. The value for the water level comes from the drillhole attribute using the specified attribute name. This value can be either a depth or elevation.
• Setup Grade Parameter File: This option uses a Grade Parameter File (.GPF) for the report. You can choose to color the graphic log or the data labels by the grade colors. There is also an option to label the grade name in the description field.
  
• Fill By: This controls how to draw the strata in the graphics log.
  
• Draw Sheet: This option draws the entire sheet for the report, including the title, project. Turning it off will turn off the Sheet Settings section, and it will just draw the main rows and columns of the log in the drawing.
  
• Report Height and Width: These parameters set the overall dimensions of the report.
  
• Sheet Settings: Choose Space: There are 3 options for drawing this report. Paper Space, Model Space and PDF. Paper will create a new Layout tab, using the name in the Layout Name window. Model Space will draw the plot in the working drawing, where picked. PDF will write the report out to its own PDF file.
  
• Layout Name: This sets the name of the new Layout Tab for Paperspace.
  
• Block Name/Set: This window sets the dwg drawing block of the sheet to use for the report. There is one file called dhlog_8_5x11.dwg in the SUP folder. This can be edited to customize how the block will appear in the report, with company logos, legends, etc.
  
• Starting Page: This sets the starting page of the reports for inclusion into existing documents.
  
• Set Sheet Attributes: This sets the topics for the header data in the report. For custom reports, set the project name and job number here. These are read from the Project and Job Number in the Drawing Setup command. They can also be overwritten here with a custom name. The Find Sheet Attributes searches the holes to populate this list of available items.
  

• Header Settings: These options prepare the Header format for the report. To add rows and columns, use the Number of rows and Columns pulldowns to set them. Then for each cell, drop them down to choose the field to display in the header. To set a Prefix or Suffix, choose the appropriate cell and choose the Cell Settings button.
  

• Body Settings: These options control how the main body of the report will appear. Rows and columns, header and group heights are set here.
  

• Footer Settings. These basically work the same as the Header Settings. 

• Arrows: To move the main body columns left and right, use the green arrows. To Add or Remove columns, use the + and - buttons shown here.

After all of the settings are defined, hitting OK will prompt for the location to draw the report. Based on the Choose Space setting, it will either go to Model Space, Paper Space Layout, or a PDF file.
