Survey Tab

The following tables describe the options on the Survey tab.

Manager Panel

Tool Description Command
Add Layers Load layers from your database and add them into the current drawing. AMGR_ADDLAYERS
Reload Layers Choose from a list of currently loaded Amine layers to be reloaded from the database. Any changes made to the layers being refreshed are not saved. AMGR_SYNCLOCALLAYERS
Reload Layers (By Selection) Reload layers by selecting objects in the 3D viewer. Any changes made to the layers being refreshed are not saved. AMGR_SYNCLOCALLAYERS
Remove Layers Choose from a list of currently loaded Amine layers to be removed from the drawing. You are prompted to save or discard changes made to the layer. AMGR_DUMPLAYERS
Remove Layers (By Selection) Remove layers by selecting objects in the 3D viewer. You are prompted to save or discard changes made to the layer. AMGR_DUMPLAYERS
Save Layers Choose from a list of modified Amine layers to be saved to the database. Only layers that have been modified aredisplayed. If an Amine layer has been modified but is not displayed in the list, you can use the force save option to save all layers. AMGR_SAVELAYERS
Add Locks Manually apply a lock to an Amine layer, preventing other users from modifying the layer while the lock is in place. AMGR_ADDLOCK
View or Delete Lock View and optionally delete current Amine layer locks in effect on the database. AMGR_LOCKSINFO
Advanced Layer Control View the status of Amine layers or force Amine layers to be saved to or reloaded from the database. AMGR_LAYERSINFO
View Logs Query the Amine Manager database for a history of changes made to Amine layers. AMGR_LAYERLOGS
Change SQL Server Modify the SQL Server connection to be made by the Amine Manager component. The database on the SQL server must have a very specific schema in order to operate. Changes to these settings may cause Amine to malfunction. AMGR_SQL_CONNECT
Manager Settings Control the behavior of the Amine Manager component. AMGR_CONFIG
Batch Convert Convert AutoCAD layers to Amine layers by batch. This may cause loss of data. AMGR_CADTOAMINELAYER
Overwrite Amine Layer Overwrite a network Amine layer by a local Amine Layer. If there is no existing layer, it creates a new one. AMGR_CONVERTLAYERS
Amine Version Information on your current Amine version and modules in use. ASVER
Log-in Log-in to the Amine Manager component with your user-name and password. Amine layers permissible to your account are retrievable and modifiable. AMGR_LOGIN
Log-out Log out of the Amine Manager component. You are no longer able to access Amine layers stored on the server. AMGR_LOGOUT
Amine Palette Dockable palette that displays loaded Amine Layers with optional filters. AMGR_PALETTE_LIVE
  Static Layers Turn specific layers into static layers, which are used for reference purposes only. AMGR_TOSTATICLAYERS
Import Select DWG Layers Import select layers from an AutoCAD DWG file into the active drawing. AMGR_IMPORTLAYERNOTRACK

View Reset Panel

Tool Description Command
Select-Viewport Plan View Adjusts a selected view-port to plan view with data extents, and resets the UCS to world. PLAN
Single-Viewport Plan View Returns your 3D viewer to a single view-port, resets it to plan view with data extents, and resets the UCS to world. -VPORTS
  VP Clean Freeze all the layers except the selected one and clean all outlying points. FVPL_A

Import Panel

Tool Description Command
  Import CSV Import survey data from rows of comma-separated values in CSV files. SRVIMP
  Manual Peg Computation Manually compute peg locations. SRV_PEGCALC

  Display Attributes Display the attributes of a single sample point. SRV_ATTRDISPLAY

Mesh Panel

Option Description Command
  Drive Solid Create a solid from conventional underground development surveys. VS_MESH
  Build Mesh Build various meshes including drives, raises, stopes and more. SRVMESH
  Contour Mesh Generate polyline contours from a wireframe. VS_CONTOUR

3D Polyline Panel

Tool Description Command
Create Digitize a new 3D Polyline object on the active layer. 3DPOLY
Break, By Segment Remove a segment between any two vertices on a polyline. SRV_BREAKSEGINPOLY
Break, At Point Break a 3D Polyline at any point. SRV_BREAKPOLY
Break, Trim Portion Remove a portion of a 3D Polyline between two selected points. BREAK
Break, Trim Tope Trim the wall lines at defined locations to separate portions of the drift, the original tope are kept. SRV_TRIMTOPE
Sync Change the elevation of a floor outline to match enclosing floor detail. VS_SYNCFLOOR
Join Connect ends of 3D Polyline objects according to the sides of the polylines picked. If you select the same polyline twice, it is closed. Connecting polylines from different layers causes the result to be assigned to the layer of the first polyline picked. SRV_JOINPOLY
Rapid Digitize Rapidly trace outlines between two selected points. LAY_RAPIDDIGITIZE
Split Polyline Split a polyline into separate segments. VS_SPLITPOLY
Merge Merge newer survey outlines with older survey outlines. Both ends of a pickup string are reconciled with its proximity to the old survey string for connection. SRV_JOINPOLY
