View Depth/Elevation Coordinates

Once a log is displayed in the View window, you can use the mouse pointer to determine the depth and elevation at any point on the log, in the units in which the log was compiled. This can be helpful if you wish to determine elevations at the top of stratigraphic units, for example, or to note the depth at which you wish to insert a text notation for a later re-compilation of the data.

! Elevations will be accurate only for vertical boreholes.

Use your mouse to point to any place on the log, and view the coordinates displayed at the bottom of the LogView window: depth (elevation)
You can copy a particular depth or elevation to the clipboard. With the mouse pointing to the location in question, press the Ctrl key while you type the D key (aka Ctrl+D), and the depth or elevation shown in the title bar will be copied to the clipboard. You can paste this number into another document using its Paste command. To copy the elevation, type Ctrl+E.
