How do I center my Termination Note?

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?

  • The formatting should be on the log report. I have the termination note on my log under the "Boundary Text" tab for our sample description text vs depth log entity. The formatting for horizontal alignment is under the "Main" tab, however I believe that ths controls both my sample and termination note, which is left justified (but this ends up being close to the middle of my log, just not the middle of the sample description column)

  • This option causes my lithologic descriptions to also be centered (which my boss does not like) along with my termination note. I am looking for a way to only center my Termination Note.

  • You could possibly remove the boundary text expression from your lithology entity, and create a new text vs depth entity that is centered on your page, with the "main" text expression your bottom text, the "main" depth expression your hole depth, and the vertical alignment as "top", which should place it below the bottom boundary. This would not have any other boundary lines or text, and is just used to place your termination note. This new text vs depth will be "overlaid" on your other log entities, which is best done by placing it to the side of the log and using an "x offset" to place the text on the log. The Bentley folks may have a better solution, but this should also work

  • Hi Connor,

    You can change the USD expression to this:

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

    The ListBuildSepTrim() and DelimitData() functions aren't doing anything in your expression so can be deleted.

    Also note the <<C>> Formatting Code to center the text. Formatting Codes can be found in the right hand side of the Data Tool. Just change the "System" to Formatting Codes.

    Regards,
    Jesse
