Store tables as	Select between "Groups" or "Lines" to store tables.

Application Notes

Oasis montaj databases support two different types of storage: groups and lines. Line storage is most efficient when tables share the same channels. Groups are useful for storing tables with different channels.

This GX imports each table in the database as a single line or group. For group storage, the table names are adopted "as is". For line storage, if the table names are valid Geosoft line names (i.e., L320, L20.4, R50, etc.) then the name is used "as is". Otherwise, a valid line name will be assigned, beginning at L0 and incrementing by 10 (L10, L20, etc.)

Every channel present is imported.

If the "Specify coordinate system on import" setting is set to "Yes" in the General Settings, and if no coordinate system is defined in the current X and Y channels, the "Georeference Database Channels" dialog is called so that the projection can be set on the X and Y.
