Create Plan Maps and Data Integration in Drillhole

Plan maps provide surface views of drillhole collars, coordinates, positioning grids, drillhole traces and other information, such as the title block and a list of the holes. In the Drillhole system, plan maps represent an important organizational and navigational tool that enables you to quickly display drillhole collars and evaluate drilling progress.

You can replot your Plan map using the Replot Holes on Existing Plan or Section option, from the DH-Plot menu. This option enables you to regenerate your current Plan (or Section) maps by simply replotting the holes without eliminating any added groups, such as interpretations, images, or grids.

To Create a Plan Map:

1. On the DH-Plot menu, click Plan Map.
   The Plan Map Parameters dialog will appear.

2. Fill in the information across the various tabs of this dialog.

3. For more information on the Plan Map Parameters dialogs, click the Help button on the individual tabs.

3. Click OK to generate your plan map.
   By default the collar locations are plotted using a circle symbol. There are several parameters available to help you customize the display of your plan map. The following table describes each tab in the Plan Map Parameters dialog box.

Tab	Tab Description
Plan Location	Use this tab to specify the location of the plan map.
Collars	Use this tab to select specific symbols for plotting hole collars
Hole Traces	Use this tab to define the hole traces on the plan map
Data	Use this tab to specify the data and plot type for your map.
Reference Grids	Use this tab to specify the parameters for displaying reference grids of local eastings and northings on the plan map
Plan Grid	Use this tab to plot a plan grid on the map.
Save/Load	Use this tab to load and/or save map and data plotting parameters to a file for sharing or for reuse.
Slices	Use this tab to plot a slice from a Voxel or 3D DXF, 3D Shapefile, or Geosoft Geosurface on a Plan or Section map.
