Export Solutions for GM-SYS

Use the Pdepth > Export Solutions for GM-SYS option (GMSXSOL GX) to export PDEPTH solutions from the current database into GM‑SYS symbol (.SOL) files. The GX creates a symbol file for each selected line in the current database. It also creates a .GMS (symbol configuration) file for GM-SYS Profile Modelling model(s) to be made from the selected line(s).

Export Depth Solutions for GM-SYS dialog options

File name root (+line #)	Root of output file name. The line # will be appended to this root name to generate the filename. <root><line#>.<extension>
File extension (sol)	The file name extension will be appended after the line #.
Export template	"mag_depth.o0" in the Geosoft directory is the default. Be careful not to change this file unless you know how it works!
Distance units	Initial default is kilometers. Other choices are meters, feet, kilofeet, and miles.

Application Notes

This GX creates the GM-SYS Profile Modelling symbol file and the .GMS file which is used by GM-SYS Profile Modelling to configure the symbols’ display. Run GMSMULTI or GMXMARK on the profile database to create the GM-SYS Profile Modelling model. The symbol files will then automatically be pulled into the models when GM-SYS Profile Modelling is run on the models.

The default template file mag_depth.o0 is shown below. Note that two decimal places are specified for X and Z coordinates and seven places for susceptibility. If you create a different export template, the decimal places exported are controlled by the spreadsheet display unless you explicitly set them.

To change the values in the default template file, press the "Template" button in the mail dialog to access the template editor.

The "Symbols" button in the main dialog opens a dialog where the properties of the first five symbols used for the GM-SYS Profile Modellingmodels are configurable. Choose the symbol type, size, weight, and colour for these symbols, and put them the appropriate entry boxes for these characteristics. The properties for these symbols will then be passed on to the GM-SYS Profile Modelling models made by the program. These symbols can also be changed later in GM-SYS Profile Modelling, if the user chooses, via the "Overlay", "Symbols", and "Load/Configure Symbols" menu items in GM-SYS Profile Modelling.
