Geometry

The name and location of the geometry file. This is the file that you selected in the Select Geometry Source form. File types you can use to import geometry include:

• Autocad DXF / DWG files (.dxf, .dwg)
• Datamine files (.dm, .asc, .ddf, .dat)
• GemCom polyline files (.3dr, .tie, .abp, .stl)
• Mapinfo MIF/TAB files (.mif, .tab)
• MEDS MineSight files (.msr)
• Micromine files (.dat, .out, .mm, .str)
• Microstation DGN files (.dgn)
• Minex geometry files (.gm3)
• Vulcan design database files (.dgd)
• GEMS projects (.gpr)

The collection into which the segments of the geometry file are imported.

When you create a new collection for the segments, the Name and Type fields are available for you to use to select a name and type for the collection. When you select the Default or Default collection, the Name and Type fields are filled automatically and become unavailable.

Tip: You can create, edit, and delete haulage collections using the Edit collections icon.

The name of the collection to which you want the segments of the geometry file to belong.

Note: This field is available only if you create a new collection.

The type of collection to which you want the segments of the geometry file to belong. Options are:

• Ramp: The segments represent ramp paths.
• Bench: The segments represent bench paths.

Note: This field is available only if you create a new collection.

The name and location of the geometry file.

The data that you want to import from the geometry file. Options are:

• Geometry: Only the haul lines are imported from the geometry source file.
• Geometry and haulage routes: The haul lines, haulage routes, collections, and velocities are imported from the geometry source file.

Note: If you select this option, the Collection options on the form are replaced by the Haulage routes options.

The collection into which the segments of the geometry file are imported.

If you create a new collection for the segments, the Name and Type fields are available for you to use to select a name and type for the collection. If you select the Default or Default collection, the Name and Type fields are filled for you and become unavailable.

Note: You can create, edit, and delete haulage collections using the Edit collections icon.

The name of the collection to which you want the segments of the geometry file to belong.

Note: This field is available only if the Collection is Create new.

The type of collection to which you wan the segments of the geometry file to belong. Options are:

• Ramp: The segments represents ramp paths.
• Bench: The segments represent bench paths.

Note: This field is available only if the Collection is Create new.

The prefix used for the haulage route name.

The haulage route created using the lowest numbered string in the string file is named with only the Route name prefix. All subsequent haulage routes created from the string file are named with the string number appended to the Route name prefix.

The range of strings that represent the haulage ramps.

A haulage route is created for each ramp string.

Note: When you import haulage routes from a string file each ramp is used for both the full and empty path of a haulage route.

The description field of the string file in which the full velocity of the trucks is stored.

Note: If you do not want to assign velocity to the haulage routes, or want to assign the velocity using the features in MineSched, leave this field empty.

The description field of the string file in which the empty velocity of the trucks is stored.

Note: If you do not want to assign velocity to the haulage routes, or want to assign the velocity using the features in MineSched, leave this field empty.

The name of the segment.

A default name is supplied for each segment when you import the geometry into MineSched. The default name is based on the name of the collection to which the segment belongs and the position of the segment in the hierarchy of data within the source geometry file. You can change the name of the segment by typing a new value in this column.

The collection to which the segment belongs.

Any comments you want to record about the segment.
