Project Data Control Bar - Loaded Objects

To access this sub-folder:

The Loaded Objects folder is a sub-folder of your Project Data control bar. It can be expanded to reveal further categories of data.

The Loaded Objects folder of the Project Data control bar is used to manage the data objects that are currently loaded in memory. This includes loading, unloading and refreshing objects; editing object definitions; accessing the Data Object Manager and performing object orientated manipulations. Files are listed alphabetically, with an icon indicating the data type for each object, e.g.:

Each item within the folder is supported by a context-sensitive menu system, featuring useful object-related tools. See below for more details.

Field Details

Save: save a loaded object in memory to a Datamine file. This option can be used to update an existing file which is linked to an object in memory.

Data: perform one of the following options:

Reload...: reload the selected object into memory using new load/import settings.
Refresh...: refresh the selected object into memory using its associated data load/import settings.
Save As...: save the selected new 3D object to the project file or a new Datamine file. This option opens the Save New 3D Object dialog.
Export...: export the selected object to a Datamine or non-Datamine file, using the Data Export dialog.

To Excel...: export the selected object's table and open it in MS Excel. This provides an quick means of exporting data to *.xls format.

Microsoft Excel only supports 65535 data rows, therefore, this option is not suitable for large data sets that have more data rows than this. If such a situation occurs, only the first 65535 rows of data will be displayed.

Unload...: unload the selected object data from memory.

This does not remove the file from the project (i.e. it remains listed in the Project Files control bar), nor does it remove the file from disk.

Extract: extract a subset of data from the selected object to create a new object. This option opens the Extract Data Object dialog.

Add Column: add a data column to an object, using the Add Column dialog.

TheAdd Columnoption is also available in theData Object Manager, by right-clicking an object in theLoaded Objectslist.

Properties: list the selected object's properties in the Properties dialog, for viewing or editing.

Rename: rename the selected object.

Overlay names (i.e. the overlays listed under the Overlays folders in the Sheets control bar) will track object names (i.e. the object names displayed in the Loaded Data control bar) until the overlay has been renamed by the user. After this point, the overlay will retain the user-defined name, even if the base object is renamed.

Send to Stereonet: (planes objects only) open the selected structural points object in a new Stereonet Chart

Data Object Manager...: open the Data Object Manager dialog, allowing various object-related functions to be performed on loaded data.
