This command takes center lines and text in the drawing, and
creates named underground panels based on the names, offset
distances, and outer perimeter. The prerequisites are the center
lines and text for each panel, and they must be drawn on the proper
layers. The center lines need to be on the layer MINEPLAN, and the
text needs to be on the layer PANELNM.
Starting the command brings up the following dialog. Shown here
are examples on three prefixes that will be used on these lines and
text. The prefixes listed must be in the PANELNM text in the
drawing, to match up the layout. The width and spacing (shown here
in metric) are used to drawn the panel perimeters and assign the
names. The layout of the center lines in the MINEPLAN layer is the
tricky part that takes some time to calculate and draw them
correctly offset, to allow for the panels to draw around them. Keep
in mind the barriers, and spacing between panels needs to be
accounted for too. The Attribute Group will automatically assign
these Panel Attributes from the MPD timing file to the specified
panels when the panels are drawn.
After choosing OK, the boundary polyline is prompted for. This
is necessary to clip or stop the panels as they approach the
boundary.
Select boundary polylines or press Enter for
none:
Select objects: 1 found
Select panel center lines (MINEPLAN layer):
Select objects: Specify opposite corner: 16 found
Select panel names (PANELNM layer):

panels created.
The resulting panels are shown here, and only extend up to the
boundary polyline that represents the mining limits for the
panels.
