Ring Design

This topic provides a summary of new features and enhancements related to Ring Design.

Ring Plot Options

On the Mining | Ring Design tab, in the Setup group, when you set Ring Plot Options, a Holes to plot check box can now be enabled to include holes of a given hole type in a ring plot.

If one check box is enabled, the information reported in the Summary Table will correspond to the holes of that (Planned or As Drilled) hole type.

If both check boxes are enabled, the information reported in the Summary Table will correspond to the As Drilled holes in the plotted ring.

Note: the configuration of these settings also control the hole type for which the Summary Report and Generate Batch Plot tools generate reports for.

 

Ring Report

On the Mining | Ring Design tab in the Reports group, click Report to generate a ring database and drive summary report.

Select one or more report options. The fields that are reported will depend on the corresponding parameters on the Ring Details, Ring Summary, Drive Summary, and Database Summary tabs of the Ring Plot Options form. Pivot Points may also be reported.

 

Ring Batch Report

On the Mining | Ring Design tab, in the Reports group, click Generate Batch Rings Plot to generate a batch of plots for multiple rings.

In the Generate Batch Plot form, you can choose to generate a plot file or generate an image for all rings in the database, all the rings in a selected drive, or a single selected ring.

New Import Surveyed Holes

Not all mine sites have modern systems or drill rigs which support IREDES data exchange technology. In the absence of such technology, underground surveyors manually survey the drillholes.

On the Mining | Ring Design tab, in the Import/Export group, select Import Surveyed Holes to Import survey data (collar and toe locations) manually collected manually in the field.

The surveyed data should first be imported into Micromine via one of the import tools on the File tab, in the Import group, for example Import | Text or Import | Excel. The native file can then be used as the input for this function.
