Instructions

On the Open Pit menu, point to Benching and Batters, and then click Annotate.

The Multiple Selection box displays. This to select the blocks by category.

Once the blocks have been selected, the Layer panel displays.

Layer to save labels

Enter, or select from the drop-down list, the layer into which you want to save the labels.

To create a new layer, enter the layer name. The layer name:

1. • may contain up to 40 characters.
   • must begin with an alphanumeric character [0-9] or [a-z].
   • cannot include spaces.
   • can include hyphens [ - ], plus signs [ + ], underscores [ _ ], periods/dots [. ].
   • can include the special characters of ÁÂÃÀÇÉÊÍÓÔÕÚÜÑ that are used in the Spanish and Portuguese languages.

Description

Enter a description to further describe the contents of this layer. The description can be up to 80 alphanumeric characters and may include spaces. If a description is not entered, then a default description will be used instead. If the chosen layer already has an assigned description, the description displays when the layer is selected. Existing layer descriptions can be overwritten.

Click OK.

The annotations are then displayed, using the settings specified through the Tools > Preferences > Defaults: 2D Text option.
