Charge holes by range
To run this function: Choose Design > Ring design > Charging > Charge hole by range, or...
If a design area has already been selected, you will be prompted for the names of the current drive and stope outlines with the CURRENT POSITION INFORMATION form.
Stope
The name of the current stope outline.
Drive
The name of the current drive outline.
If no drive has been selected, or the CURRENT POSITION INFORMATION form was applied, the Charge Holes By Range function will display the Hole Range form:
Charge Hole Range
Range
The range of hole numbers to charge. The holes will be charged in the order specified by the range.
Enter a range of hole numbers to be charged and choose Apply to charge the holes. Choosing Cancel cancels the function.
The method used for determining charge length is specified on the Charging Parameters form.
If the holes referred to by the range cannot be unambiguously determined (eg. there are two drives with holes drilled and the holes have the same numbers) then the Charge Holes By Range function will display the prompt:
Select one of the holes to be charged
Select one of the holes to be charged. The holes drilled from the drive of the selected hole into the stope of that hole will be charged in order of the specified range.
Warnings
This function requires an existing hole
If no holes have been drilled, no holes are available to be charged.
The calculated charge length for hole aaa is shorter than the specified minimum charge length.
The named hole has not been charged because the calculated charge length is shorter than the minimum specified on the Charging Parameters form.
The drive / stope pair corresponding to the selected hole does not contain all the holes in the specified range.
This is reported if you are prompted to select one of the holes to be charged but the holes drilled from the same drive into the same stope as the selected hole do not contain the holes in the specified range. Alter the range or re-run the function selecting a different hole.
There are no drive / stope pairs that contain all the holes in the specified range. Alter the range or renumber the holes.
This is reported if some of the specified hole numbers are duplicated but no single stope / drive pair contains all the holes in the range. Alter the range or re-run the function after renumbering some holes.
