Exporting the Stratigraphy Types to an ASCII FIle

Use the Stratigraphy Types Table's File | Export tool to export the formation information to an ASCII (text) file.  This can be necessary if you want to share the table with someone using an older version of RockWorks.

Step-by-Step Summary

  1. Open your project's Stratigraphy Types Table.
  2. Select the File | Export to an ASCII File option.
  3. Browse for the folder where you want to store the text version of your table.
  4. In the File Name prompt, type in a name for the text table, and click OK.  The default file name extension is "tab", but you can choose "txt" from the Save as Type list.

The program will read the contents of the Stratigraphy Types Table and store the information in a row and tab-delimited column format, as shown below.

Overburden  76/2.0/9,869,003/0   100   0.2   1
Aquifer-1   2/3.0/16,777,034/0   100   0.3   2
Aquitard-1  4/3.0/8,978,312/0    100   0.1   3
Aquifer-2   39/2.0/9,106,669/0   100   0.2   4
Bedrock     17/1.0/255/65535     100   0.3   5

These tab-delimited columns list (1) the formation name, (2) the pattern index number/pattern density/background color/foreground color, (3) fill percent, (4) density, and (5) formation order (=G value).
