Import Mine Plan

This command allows you to import an Underground Mine Plan into a drawing. The Mine Plan includes panel perimeters, panel names, panel centerlines, and section data. This command can be used to transfer planning information between drawings to evaluate multiple mining scenarios.

The Mine Plan is created when you create the mining panels and assign them to a piece of equipment in the Underground Mine Timing command. The Mine Plan can be saved as a .ppi file via the Timing Project Manager. To save this file, open the Timing Project Manager (Underground Pulldown Menu > Timing Project Manager). Then select the Mine Plan under the Mine Plan Information Menu. You can then click ‘Export’ to save the Mine Plan as a .ppi file.
 

To import a Mine Plan, click Underground Pulldown Menu > Import Mine Plan. Here you can select a .ppi file to import into the drawing. Once the file has been imported, the basic linework of the Mine Plan will be drawn. The below figure shows a simple Mine Plan that has been imported into a new drawing. Notice that the panel perimeters, names, and belt lines have all been imported.


Once the Mine Plan has been imported, you can use the Edit Panel command to inspect the Section Data relating to the panels.
