Trim to Perimeter

Accessing this menu:

Using the Edit Automated Design Rules dialog, select [Trim to Perimeter] from the Action drop-down list.

This autolayout action allows you to remove sections of design strings which are either inside or outside a selected perimeter (a closed string). The perimeter string can be any project file or file on disk.

This action does not require an Output Design Definition as existing data is modified (no new data created).

Trim to Perimeter Example

In the example shown below parts of the design strings which are outside the perimeter are retained, while those inside are deleted.

One possible application for this action is to trim stope access strings to output stope boundary strings from MSO or to terminate drive strings at a surveyed barrier to mining.
