If you've created a new project in RockWorks, have imported borehole data from LogPlot, or are in the midst of working on a project, you can bring in the Lithology Types from the keyword table used in LogPlot (RockWare's log-plotting program). The imported Lithology Types will be appended to any existing entries in the current table. (See also Importing LogPlot Data.)
Step-by-Step Summary
The program will read the contents of the file and append it to the end of the current list.
Tips
Because LogPlot keyword tables can contain dozens of terms, you should remove those that don't exist in your project. Extraneous keyword names will result in needlessly long drop-down lists in the Lithology data tables and cluttered legends.
- If you've imported your LogPlot DAT files already, you can use the Lithology Types Table's Edit | Turn Off Unused Lithology option to un-check those Types that don't exist in the current project. You can then remove those rows from the Lithology Types Table using the Ctrl+Del key combination. (See Editing the Lithology Types Table.)
- If you haven't yet entered any borehole data, you should hand-delete as many unused keywords as possible before entering the data to keep data entry easier.
- Use the Edit | Change Keywords' Case menu option to make the case of all your keywords consistent.
