Enter Dip Data

This video, recorded using an earlier version of DataBlast Pro, provides an example of how to enter dip data.

This activity is only required for manual data entry; for example, if data has been entered in a dip sheet (see Generate and Print a Dip Sheet). Alternatively, you might Import a Measure Log.

Activity Steps

Select the Measure module.
Select a drill pattern in the DataBlast Items Tree.
The drill pattern displays in the Viewport.
To limit the data entry to a subset of the holes in the drill pattern, select the holes. See Select Objects in the Viewport.
On the Measure Ribbon Menu, in the Dip group, click Dip Entry.
The Dip Data Entry Sheet displays.
Note: The drill pattern type determines which dip entry sheet displays. See Maintain Drill Pattern Types. The properties in the header, the data columns, and whether historical data displays, are all configurable. See Maintain Measurement Entry Templates.
To adjust the text size, click Zoom In or Zoom Out as required.
Enter data in the header fields as required.
Enter data in the data columns for each hole as required.
For editable data columns, if the template configuration has Entry Only unchecked, data already in the database displays but only until you enter a value for any editable property in the table row (that is, for that hole).
The hole ID has a colour highlight for holes for which you have entered data.
Note: If you are entering data for the measured depth, short holes are highlighted (by default) in red and long holes are highlighted (by default) in blue. See Configure Colours.
To clear edits for a hole:
1. Select the hole in the data table.
2. Click Clear Hole Edits.
  A confirmation message displays.
3. Click OK.
To clear all newly entered data without closing the Dip Data Entry Sheet:
1. Click Revert Changes.
  A confirmation message displays.
2. Click OK.
Click Save.
Note: Holes for which you have entered data are flagged as measured and change colour in the drill pattern.
