New

On the Drillhole tab, in the Database group: Click New to create a Drillhole Database by referencing a Collar file and (optional) associated Survey, Interval and Event files.

The Drillhole Database form is displayed whenever you create or edit a drillhole database:

If downhole data is being used, then data in a Collar file and (optionally) a Survey file will be imported and used to generate trace coordinates. External interval and Event files can also be associated with the database. The fields in these files can be used to classify and colour code the trace display.

Database name

Enter the name of the new drillhole database (or Trench Database). Alternatively, double-click (or click on the ellipsis) to select from a list of databases in the current project.

You will be prompted to overwrite the database or cancel.

You can also press F5 to create a new database. Press F4 to edit a database you have selected.

If you click the Select Files button, you can select a database, and multiple collar, survey, interval and/or event files to add to the form. Information for the files added successfully will be autofilled on the relevant tabs. You will be notified that the files have been added, and a prompt will display the type and name of each file (Collar, Survey, Interval, Event) in the database.
