Move mast by coordinates

  • In the Function Chooser, type MOVE MAST BY COORDS, and press ENTER.

New X-Coordinate

Enter the new X coordinate for the mast pivot point.

New Y-Coordinate

If the new mast location is still within the survey opening and the pivot point is within the specified limits, the mast will move to the specified coordinates, otherwise it will remain where it is and a warning will be displayed in the message window.

The New Rig position would be located outside the Survey Opening

Warning message indicating that the mast cannot be moved to the specified coordinates and remain in the survey opening.

The new rig position would place the pivot point outside the reach of the rig

Warning message indicating that the mast cannot be moved to the specified coordinates as the pivot would be below the minimum height, above the maximum height or outside the lateral limits specified for the rig. To see these limits, choose MOVE MAST By Graphics.
