Drillhole Export to SHP File

Use the DH-Data > Export > SHP File menu option (DHEXPSHP GX) to export a Drillhole project to ArcView 3D Shape Files (SHP).

Drill Hole – Export to SHP Files dialog options

Prefix for SHP files

Prefix for file names.

Script Parameter: DHEXPSHP.PREFIX

Holes to export

Select which holes to export "Selected holes", "All holes", or "Select from list"

Script Parameter: DHEXPSHP.SELECTED: "ALL", "SELECTED" or "LIST". If using the "LIST" option, set the DHEXPSHP.LIST parameter to be the selected holes, comma-separated.

Application Notes

All the holes are grouped and exported by type (Assays, Rocks, Survey and a Collar) in different files. The GX will ask for a Prefix and append the type name and CSV.

Example:

PREFIX

MyData

FILES CREATED

MyData.Collar.shp

MyData.Assay.shp

MyData.Rock.shp

If no prefix is provided the files will simply be "Assay.shp" etc. Files will end up in the same folder as the Drillhole project and .PRJ files will accompany the shapefiles if a projection has been set up.
