Pit/Channel Samples - Import from Text File

This command creates channel samples from comma separated data in a text file. The command starts with a dialog to choose the symbol, symbol size and order of the data columns. Besides the attributes values, the text file must include the sample northing and easting and a strata identifier of name or elevation. The text file should have comma separated columns of data with each row containing all the data for the sample.

The order of the columns is set in the dialog shown below. To add one of the standard column types, highlight the name from the Available list and click Add. To add a user-defined attribute such as BTU, click the Add Attribute button. Another dialog will appear for entering the attribute name.

Channel Samples can be used as "partial" drillholes or spot samples. They are used in conjunction with the drillholes for modeling.
