Application Notes

When picking or editing targets, if the survey database is specified, the closest point of approach (line and station) to the target location will of be already determined. However, if this was missed, or during editing the information in the survey and target database is out "sync" Locate Target on Survey Line will update both databases. In the target database channels will be added that include nearest survey line, fiducial and distance along the line. In the survey database two channels are added the target id and grid value, that contain values at the point nearest to the target locations.

*The GX tool will search in the "gx" folder. The GX.Net tools, however, are embedded in the Geosoft.uxo.gxnet.dll located in the 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.
