Standard Drillhole Text

This command draws text for the descriptions, surface elevation, strata names, bed names, thicknesses, attributes, and/or bottom elevations of the selected drillholes. Which values to draw is determined by the selections in the dialog shown below. When bed names are available they may be drawn next to the strata name.

Text Layer: This option controls the layer that will be used for the text labels. If the Use Drillhole Layer option is selected, text labels will be drawn on the same layer as the drillhole symbol. Note that strata layers may also be set according to the "Layer Text by Strata" option.

Text Size: This option controls the size of the text labels.

Decimals: This option controls the number of decimal places in the values. If the strata attributes are defined in Define Attributes, the number of decimal places to report will respect the attribute definition file.

Draw ____: These check boxes control which attributes of the drillhole will be labeled. These labels are self-explanatory, but a few notes on these options are provided below.

Use MText: This option will draw the label using an MTEXT entity instead of a standard TEXT entity.

Draw Strata Elevation/Thickness/Depth: These options control how the elevation/thickness/depth labels will be drawn.

Starting Text Position: This option sets the row to start the text labels. By increasing this value, you can add additional labels without overlapping previous labels. For example, if the drillholes already have two rows of labels, then use a starting text position of three.

Text Offset: This option sets the distance from the center of the drillhole symbol to draw the first text label. It is recommended that this value be set to half the diameter of the drillhole radius to prevent the labels from overlapping the symbol.

Which Strata to Include: This option determines which strata will be labeled. If the "Selected" option is chosen, you will be prompted to select the strata to label. If the "Composite" option is chosen, you will be prompted to select the strata to label, but all selected strata will be grouped as if they were a single strata.

Text Alignment: This option determines the placement of the labels relative to the drillhole symbol (right justified, center justified above the drillhole, center justified below the drillhole).

Use Parameter File: This option allows you to select a parameter file to filter the drillholes and draw text for only the drillholes that pass the filter. See Define Parameters for more on parameters.

Ignore Zero Value Attributes: This option will prevent attributes with a value of zero from being labeled.

Draw Attributes on Separate Lines: This option will create a new line for each attribute of each strata, otherwise the attributes of a strata are grouped together on one line, but separated by the Delimiter field.

Group attributes by strata: This option will draw all the attributes for a strata together. Otherwise the attributes are grouped by attribute name such as having all sulfur attribute values drawn together.

Layer Text by Strata: When this option is enabled, the layers used for each label will be set according to the layers defined in the Strata Definition File.

Draw Text At Elevation: This option creates the labels at the surface elevation of the drillhole. Otherwise, the text is drawn at zero elevation.
