Borehole Log

There are four groups of settings for the creation of the new Borehole Log Template Sheet: General, Margins, Sections and Depth Area.

GENERAL: In this group the paper size and orientation of the new Borehole Log can be chosen.

MARGINS: In this group it is possible to choose the margin areas around edge of the sheet as it appears on the printer. It is the distance between the edge of the grid and the edge of the paper.

Follow-on Mode: Allows for different header and footers to be used on the first page of a log than on any additional 'follow-on' pages. Please see here for more information.

Grid Size: There are three scales of the grid: Small, Medium and Large. In the small scale the dimensions of each square on the graph paper is 1X1mm, in the medium scale 2X2 mm and in the large scale 4X4 mm. The default selection is the Medium scale which is the recommended scale. If millimetre accuracy is needed on the Log then the small scale should be used but this will affect the performance.

Header – Footer: These are the areas above and below the Depth Header (Depth Related Area). Specify these in terms of number of grids in each area. (this will then be displayed in mm below each box)

Depth Header: Top above the Depth Area where column headers are listed. This is in effect the height of the area between the top of the depth related area and the header.

Depth Footer: Bottom area of the Depth Area where continuation headers or similar will sit.

Plot Area: Enter a specific value in here to ensure that the template fills this amount of space.

Scale: Enter a value in here to ensure that a template fits an exact scale such as 1:50 etc.

Units per Page: Enter a value in here to ensure that a certain amount of units are placed on each page such as 5m etc.

Each option has a radio button above it. The one that you select will be the one that will automatically apply changes depending on the values given to the other two.

Units per Page Expression: Allows for the number of depth units (meters or feet) per page on a Borehole Log to be determined by an expression. Please see here for more information.

At the bottom of the box the size of the Log you have created is displayed against the size of the selected paper. If the Log dimensions are too large for the paper size then this value is high-lighted in red and the dimensions must be reduced before the template setup form can be saved.

Click OK to save the selections made.

If the paper size is exceeded by the entered values then the information at the bottom of the page will turn red.

Header Sheet

There are two groups of settings for the creation of the new header sheet: General and Margins.

GENERAL: In this group the paper size and orientation of the new Borehole Log can be chosen.

MARGINS: In this group it is possible to choose the margin areas around edge of the sheet as it appears on the printer. It is the distance between the edge of the grid and the edge of the paper.

Site Plans

There are two groups of settings for the creation of the new site plan sheet: General and Margins.

GENERAL: In this group the paper size and orientation of the new Borehole Log can be chosen.

MARGINS: In this group it is possible to choose the margin areas around edge of the sheet as it appears on the printer. It is the distance between the edge of the grid and the edge of the paper.

Strips

There are no page setup options for strips as they are used solely on Sections and Civils Sections.

Sections

There are four groups of settings for the creation of the new Sections: General, Margins, Sections and Depth Area.

GENERAL: In this group the paper size and orientation of the new Borehole Log can be chosen.

MARGINS: In this group it is possible to choose the margin areas around edge of the sheet as it appears on the printer. It is the distance between the edge of the grid and the edge of the paper.

Grid Size: There are three scales of the grid: Small, Medium and Large. In the small scale the dimensions of each square on the graph paper is 1X1mm, in the medium scale 2X2 mm and in the large scale 4X4 mm. The default selection is the Medium scale which is the recommended scale. If millimetre accuracy is needed on the Log then the small scale should be used but this will affect the performance.

Header – Footer: These are the areas above and below the Depth Header (Depth Related Area). Specify these in terms of number of grids in each area. (this will then be displayed in mm below each box)

Civils Sections

Civils sections function in exactly the same way as sections in regards to template setup. Therefore, see the above section on Sections for information on how to setup a Civils Section.

Additional Notes

The Master Font setting is a legacy feature currently disabled in new templates.
