How to fix the margins so my entire drawing prints

Connor Kirkland — Wed, 17 Jun 2020 19:26:44 GMT

When I export/print my boring log, part of the top where my company information is located and part of the bottom where my termination depth is located gets cut off during the export. How do I fix my margins to resolve this issue?

How to create/edit a Tile in Symbol Design?

Connor Kirkland — Fri, 17 Jan 2020 13:29:57 GMT

I am trying to create a a tile for calcite/aragonite so that I can display a calcareous clay in my graphic log. When I try to edit an existing tile it does not seem to work and I do not know how to go about creating my own from scratch.

This is what I need the tile to look like:

Water Levels (after drilling)

Connor Kirkland — Thu, 16 Jan 2020 14:42:07 GMT

How do I fix my water level that displays in output? It is working fine for some of my logs, but not all of them.

For Example: My "depth below monitoring point (ft)" = 329.81, minus the WL measured after drilling (7.22 ft) and I get 321.96 ft for my "Monitoring Point Stickup (ft)" however it ultimately displays my WL as 7.22000000000003 ft BTOC. Why is it adding so many zeros?

Water level icon display

Connor Kirkland — Tue, 06 Aug 2019 20:34:37 GMT

Why is my water level icon appearing outside of my report when viewing in output?

I am also getting both a positive and negative value for my water level after drilling, what is the cause of this?

USCS Field Classification

Connor Kirkland — Tue, 06 Aug 2019 16:35:06 GMT

How do I make my USCS field classification populate in my USCS column and not at the beginning of my lithologic descriptions. (Picture attached for reference)

Why does my blow count now display the fourth value?

Connor Kirkland — Fri, 28 Jun 2019 11:55:08 GMT

I am making logs for four boreholes. When viewing in output the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th blow counts display on my First and Third boring log, but only the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd blow count appear on my Second and Fourth boring log.

Why is the 4th blow count not appearing?

How do I center my Termination Note?

Connor Kirkland — Fri, 28 Jun 2019 12:39:06 GMT

The Expression I have in my User System Data tab is as follows:

<<ListBuildSepTrim(<<cr>>,_
<<DelimitData(_
)>>_
Bottom of <<IIf(<<User System Data.Is Test Pit>>,test pit,borehole)>> at _
<<Format(<<POINT.HoleDepth>>,0.0)>> feet.
)>>

How do I edit this expression to center my Termination Note?

Cannot get 'Top of Casing Elevation" to Populate in my Header

Connor Kirkland — Mon, 29 Apr 2019 15:19:38 GMT

I have attached a picture of my 'Top of Casing Elevation" line not populating in output.

The Text Expression I have in my Associated Text tab is:

<<WELL DETAILS. Casing Top Elev>>_
<<IsNumeric(<<WELL DETAILS. Casing Top Elev>>, ft)>>

What am i doing incorrectly?

Why does the information in my WELL CONSTRUCTION DIAGRAM box not populate?

Connor Kirkland — Fri, 26 Apr 2019 15:11:18 GMT

<<ListBuildSepTrim(<<CR>>,_
<<DelimitData(TOC Elev: ,<<WELL DETAILS.Casing Top Elev>>," (ft)")>>,_
<<DelimitData(Casing Type: ,<<WELL DETAILS.Casing Type>>)>>,_
<<DelimitData(Date Developed: ,<<WELL DETAILS.Date Developed>>)>>,_
<<DelimitData(Development Method: ,<<WELL DETAILS.Method>>)>>,_
<<DelimitData(Est. Recovery: ,<<WELL DETAILS.Est Recovery in gallons>>," (gal)")>>,_
)>>

That is the main text expression I have.

I have also attached a picture of what area is not populating (The area directly below the "WELL CONSTRUCTION DIAGRAM")

This is how it displays in Output.

Lastly, I have attached a picture of my input screen for observation.

Thank you in advance for the help!

Making new Materials in Graphic Log

Connor Kirkland — Wed, 17 Apr 2019 22:00:41 GMT

I am unable to make material symbols that match what my boss is looking for (attached below). I have tried adding a dashed line then a dotted and dashed line to make my sandy clay, but the lines are placed on the same line and not alternating lines like I am trying to achieve. Can I create a new tile to fit the specifications I need so I only need to enter one tile?Am I setting it up incorrectly in my symbol design? or is it not possible to set up a material to display like the ones I have below?

Is it possible to make a material symbol or hatch transparent?

Connor Kirkland — Fri, 05 Apr 2019 13:20:59 GMT

I am trying to make new material graphics for my company and my boss has decided he wants sand to be black dots on a yellow background. However I have found no way to make a slightly transparent yellow background. I tried creating a hatch, but could not find a feature and when I try to make the background yellow in the material section it makes the entire block yellow completely covering the black dots.

How do I make my Boring ID # and Page # continue onto the second page?

Connor Kirkland — Wed, 03 Apr 2019 14:23:47 GMT

One of my logs spans two pages. The first page has the Logo in the left corner and my boring ID #/Page # in the right corner. Meanwhile the second page only has the logo showing up in output. How do I fix it so all three appear on the second page?

Unable to enter numeric characters in Blow Count

Connor Kirkland — Tue, 02 Apr 2019 18:44:44 GMT

I am trying to input my data for blow counts. However I am unable to enter "WOH" and "50/6" in my input table to since it only accepts numeric values. Can these issues be solved with a simple text expression I am overlooking?

I have tried changing my data expression to get "0" in my sample tab for blow counts to display as "WOH" in output, but I have not gotten it to work. I looked through a few how-to-guides listed below.

Text vs Depth: N-Value Calculation using Text Fields (how-to guide)

Text vs Depth: N-Value Calc with R for Refusal and 0 for WOH/WOR (how-to guide)

Text vs Depth: Calculates Refusal Penetration and includes WOR field (how-to guide)

Editing Code for Blow Count and USCS Field Classification in Report Design

Connor Kirkland — Mon, 01 Apr 2019 19:20:57 GMT

I have two columns in my bore log that are giving me trouble. I only want the blow counts to display in this column and not the SPT "N" Value, because I have a separate column for this value. The text expression I currently have is <<User System Data.Blows and N value>>.

As for the USCS Field classification column, I only want the USCS Classification to populate into the designated column. However, it also puts the classification at the beginning of my Lithologic Description. How do I keep this from happening? The text expression I currently have in my USCS Field Classification column is <<BreakText(<<User System Data.Lithology USCS>>,-,1)>>

I attached a picture of my log where you can see the (CL) populating in front my CLAY descriptions and the "N" value populating underneath my Blow Counts.

Why does my material graphic not fully display in my graphic log?

Connor Kirkland — Fri, 29 Mar 2019 16:30:45 GMT

I made a Dolomite graphic for my bore log, however, when i view it in output the graphic does not span the entire column. What is my issue?

I attached a picture of my bore log with the graphic not filling the entire column.
