Drilling report
To run this function: Choose Design > Ring design > Reports > Drilling report, 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 Ring Drilling Report function will display the RING NAME form.
Ring
The name (or number) of the ring
Apply the form to continue or choose Cancel to cancel the function. Applying the form displays the DRILLING REPORT form.
Pos
The report column in which to display the hole attribute value
Attribute
The hole attribute to report. Possible values are:
| number | The hole number. |
| letter | The hole letter corresponding to the hole number. For example, 1 = A, 2 = B, ... 27 = AA, 28 = AB ... |
| length | The length of the hole. |
| no. rods | The number of rods to drill (calculated from the hole length and the rod length of the current rig). |
| plane angle | The angle of the hole in the ring plane. This value is reported in the fomat specified by the Angle definition method of the current rig. See Add Rig for further details. |
| hole declination | The real world dip of the hole. |
| b/t | 'Y' if the hole passes within the breakthrough tolerance of an opening, 'N' otherwise. |
| diameter | The diameter of the hole. |
| dump | The dump of the ring plane. The dump is the inclination of the ring plane to the horizontal. The angle conventions are similar to those of the "section dip" in Centre Line Slice |
| dump direction | The dump direction of the ring plane. |
| x | The real world x value of the hole collar. |
| y | The real world y value of the hole collar. |
| z | The real world z value of the hole collar. |
| referenced pivot position | The lateral offset of the pivot position from the reference point (see Select Reference for further details). |
| referenced collar position | The lateral offset of the collar position from the reference point (see Select Reference for further details). |
| pivot # | The number of the pivot point in string 32000 of the string file to which the data is saved. This is useful to correlate the report and a plot of the ring. |
| pivot height | The height of the pivot point above the floor. |
| left wall offset | The offset of the pivot point from the left wall. |
| right wall offset | The offset of the pivot point from the right wall. |
| pipe | The '|' character - may be used to separate columns of data. |
| drive | The name of the drive from which the hole was drilled. |
| stope | The name of the stope used for drilling the hole. |
| contact depth | Depth from the hole's collar to the location in the hole where a contact with a zone of interest occurs. |
| contact description | Description of contact. |
| dump angle off plane | If a hole has its toe or collar offset from the ring plane, the dump angle of the hole may be different to that of the ring plane. This contains the dump angle of the hole relative to the ring plane. |
| pivot offset | Distance the pivot is to be offset from the ring plane. |
| collar offset | Distance the collar is to be offset from the ring plane. |
Right Align
Check this box to right align the data in the current column.
Dec. Places
The number of decimal places to display for the attribute (if appropriate)
Note that report rows are sorted by the first three columns. That is, firstly by the first column, then the second and finally the third. Once this form is applied, the Ring Design Report Format File form will be displayed.
Enter the name of the file for the report to be written to.
Output Report File Format
This is the format of the file written, the allowed options include:
.html/.htm - HyperText Markup Language - this is the standard format for the World Wide Web (WWW) and so the output report will be readable in any web browser, or the report can be placed on an intranet to allow viewing by all staff.
.rtf - Rich Text Format - This is a format which is used in many word processors, especially Microsoft Word.
.pdf - Adobe Acrobat - a common format for reports and documents
.ps - PostScript - some printers can handle this format themselves, and so sending this file directly to the printer will result in perfect prints.
.not - Surpac Note File - the original note file output
.csv - Comma Separated - This file format can be imported directly into a spread sheet or database program.
Row Wrapping
Row Wrapping refers to how a line is to be displayed if the length of the row is longer then the page width. The choices selectable are:
Wrap Lines - Each row that is too long will be wrapped around to the following line on the page.
Wrap Over Page - Each row that is too long will be wrapped onto the following page.
Scale Cells Proportional - Each row will be printed onto a single line without any wrapping of the rows. If a row is to long for the page width, then the row will have its cells scaled proportionally.
Scale Cells Fixed Width - Each row will be printed onto a single line without any wrapping of the rows. If a row is to long for the page width, then the row will have its cells scaled. Each cell will be trimmed to the same width.
Warnings
It has been detected that the pivot point for hole X has been edited by the user
The pivot point for this hole has been manually edited by the user, this may result in certain values for the hole, eg the referenced pivot position, being displayed as N/A in the drilling report
