Application Notes

*The GX tool will search in the "...\Geosoft\Desktop Applications \gx" folder. The GX.Net tools, however, are embedded in the geogxnet.dll located in the "...\Geosoft\Desktop Applications \bin" folder. If running this GX interactively, bypassing the menu, first change the folder to point to the "bin" folder, then supply the GX.Net tool in the specified format.

Micromine File Types

There are 7 Micromine file types that can be imported into an Oasis Montaj map: .STR, .SEC, .STP, .DAT, .SVY, .TDB, .GRD. The first 5 file types are ASCII files and share the same internal format for describing data, whereas TDB files are Microsoft Access Database files, and GRD files are in a binary format. As for the kind of data that these 7 file types describe, STR files describe strings, SEC and STP files describe profiles, TDB files describe surfaces using triangulation, and GRD files describe grids. Please refer to Micromine documentation for the format specifications of these 7 file types.
