Drillhole Selection

This section allows drillholes, both linear and curve deviation, to be selected for use with the subsequent editing options. Drillholes can be selected from design databases or existing drillhole databases.

Design Data

Select drillholes from an existing design database. Drillholes can be selected either from the grid or interactively from the screen using the Screen Pick button on the right.

The Layer Name, Object Name and Group fields allow a filter to be applied based on the input pattern. For example, if the prefix UGD is used for all underground drillholes in the layer and only these drillholes were to be loaded, then UGD* could be input as the Pattern. The Default * will be used as a wildcard to select all drillholes in the layer.

The following can be used as a guide for wildcard syntax:

* matches any sequence of characters (zero or more)
? matches any character
[SET] matches any character in the specified set,
[!SET] or [^SET] matches any character not in the specified set.

For example, if you want to load objects using test_[!UGD] as the pattern syntax, test_1, test_a would be loaded but test_U, test_G, and test_D would not be loaded.

Note: [SET] does not support the special characters used for wildcards. For example, test_[!*UGD*] is invalid.

Design Database

Select the desired design database from which the drillholes are to be selected. You can select the existing database from the drop-down list or browse from another directory.

Layer Name

This is the desired layer in the selected design database from which the drillholes are to be selected. You can type a layer name or select one from the drop-down list.

Object Name

This is the desired object(s) to be loaded. You can type an object name or select one from the drop-down list.

Group

This allows drillholes to be selected by entering the desired group to be loaded from within the selected objects.

Drilling Databases

Select the desired drillhole database to be used in the drillhole planning reports. You can select the existing database from the drop-down list or browse from another directory.

Database Type

Drillhole databases can be either isis databases or ODBC dsf designs, which can be chosen from the drop-down list.

Database

This is the desired isis database from which the drillholes are to be selected. You can select the existing database from the drop-down list or browse from another directory..

ODBC Design

This is the desired OBDC dsf database from which the drillholes are to be selected. You can select the existing ODBC design from the drop-down list or browse from another directory.

Selection

This option defines which drillholes will be loaded from the selected database. Drillholes can be selected in three ways:

Name —Allows applying a filter based on the input pattern. For example, if the prefix UGD is used for all underground drillholes in the database and only these drillholes were to be used in the calculation, then UGD* could be input as the Pattern. The default * is used as a wildcard to select all drillholes in the database.

Selection file —Allows using a drillhole selection file (.sel) to restrict using the holes whose HoleID is contained in the selection file. The .sel file also supports the use of wildcards.

Exclusion file —Allows using a drillhole selection file (.sel) to restrict using the holes whose HoleID is not contained in the selection file.
