  2. The Data Import dialog is displayed so that you can select a Driver category and Data type appropriate for the file you wish to import.

Use the Text driver to import ASCII text files containing comma separated or fixed width columns with a single header record.

    The operation of each driver varies according to the driver selected and the contents of the source file. For instructions on the use of a specific driver, choose the Help button on the driver dialogs displayed.

    The contents of the source file is then read into memory.

  3. The Define Drillhole Data Table dialog is displayed. Select [Intersections] in the Table Type box and assign the fields from the Table's field box to the parameters displayed in the Assigned Fields box.

To change a field assignment

    • Select the parameter name in the Assigned Fields box.

    • Select the correct field name from the Table's Fields box.

When an intersections file is imported, the program performs a number of additional tasks:
