Format Columns

To access this dialog:

  • Right-click a Log sheet or inserted log sheet item and select Properties, select the Columns tab.

This help file relates to functions available using the Log View Properties dialog - Columns tab. It shares several common features with the 3D window's Format Downhole dialog.

Both are used to define downhole columns that will sit alongside either strip log information or a loaded drillhole object. The main difference between the two dialogs is that Log View Properties - Columns contains a list of attributes that can be used to define log sheet formatting, whereas in the 3D window equivalent, an attribute is selected from a static or dynamic drillhole object beforehand. Otherwise the functionality is very similar.

The other difference is that a Log Sheet can only display information for a dynamic drillhole, whereas the Format Downhole dialog can be used to configure formatting for both static and dynamic drillhole types.

This panel is used to access formatting for all downhole formatting styles

Downhole Formatting Styles

The following display styles are available for 3D downhole columns. Access them via the Style menu at the top of the Format Downhole Column screen:

Field Details:

Columns in View: Select a field name to remove, copy, change position or format. All visible data columns are shown; each column relates to an attribute in the data object used to construct the log sheet.

Select a dowhole column before adjusting its formatting. Only one attribute can be selected at a time.

Up/Down: adjust the position of the highlighted column in the Columns in View list (see above). If your data column is set to Overlap previous column, it will always overlap the column immediately above it in the list. Columns are drawn in a left-right order on the sheet (corresponding to up-down in the Columns in View list) so reordering here can be used to change the position of the log column on the sheet.

Delete: remove the column selected in the Columns in View list.

Add: add a new column to the log sheet, using the Column Wizard.

Copy: add a copy of the selected column. Each copy will be added to the bottom of the Columns in View list, but can be reordered (see above).

Rename: Rename a log sheet column. If the Column Names Row is used in log sheet formatting (e.g. the Title), the column width will be automatically adjust to accommodate it

Reset: reset the log sheet to show only the default columns.

Font: use the Font dialog to set the Font style.
