Formatting header and footer

A log sheet is a special type of title block used to display scaled hole logs. Like a title block, a log sheet can be completely customized by changing its size, number and size of rows and cells, and, the contents of each cell.

The cells in the header and footer may contain fields specific to the project, the sheet or the hole being viewed, and are automatically updated whenever these parameters change. For example, you may insert cells containing the hole name, and easting, northing and elevation of the hole collar; when the Next or Previous commands are chosen to display another hole, these hole fields are immediately updated by the program.

You must be in Page Layout mode to select, edit, move and re-size the log sheet.

You can also choose the Format Header and Format Footer commands from the Log toolbar.

To display the properties of the log sheet

Double click inside the log sheet with the pointer to display the Log view dialog.
Edit the options on the Frame tab to change the width, height, line width, color of text and lines, font style, maximum font size and transparency of the log sheet. These properties apply to the entire log sheet.

The size of text in each cell is automatically set by the program based on the maximum font size set on the Frame tab (press the Font button). For the best results, choose the font size that best suits the largest cell and the program will auto-size the text in the other, smaller cells.
