Application Notes

*The GX.NET tools are embedded in the geogxnet.dll file 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" directory, then supply the GX.NET tool in the specified format. See the topic Run GX for more details on running a GX.NET interactively.

It is often useful to split an existing line into parts. For example, an entire survey flight may be imported as a single line, then sub-divided into separate survey lines by displaying the survey trace and using the Split on Fiducial GX.
