RockWorks | Borehole Manager | File | Export | Multiple Tables | Text
This Borehole Manager program will export selected/all data tables for selected/all boreholes to a text file, each RockWorks data table a separate block within the output file. The format of any real numbers in the exported file (123,456,789.00 versus 123.456.789,00) will match the format you have defined in the Windows control panel.

Step-by-Step Summary
- Output File
- Text Export Output File: Click to the right of this prompt to browse for the folder where the text file is to be created, and to enter the name for the exported file. It should have a "txt" file name extension.
- Boreholes to Include
- All boreholes (enabled and disabled): Click in this button of all boreholes in the current project should be exported to the text file.
- Only Enabled Boreholes: Click in this button if only the data in the activated (checked) boreholes are to be exported.
- Currently Highlighted Borehole (Single Borehole): Choose this option to export the data for the current borehole only.
- Current Borehole Name: This will default to the currently-selected borehole in the Borehole Manager. Click the down-arrow to the right to select a different borehole name from the displayed list.
- Items to Include: Use the checkboxes to select which of the main data tables, data types tables, and accessory tables in the current project database are to be exported. They can be activated/deactivated individually, or quickly using the selection buttons.
- Main Tables: Listed here are all of the data tables in the database. Insert a check in those to be exported.
- Select All Tables: Use this button to select all of the data tables.
- De-select All Tables: Use this button to de-select all of the data tables.
- Type Tables: Listed here are all of the Type tables in the database (e.g. Stratigraphy Types, P-Data Types, etc.). Insert a check in those to be exported.

- Extras
- Include XYZ Computations: If you want to include the XYZ point for each downhole measurement (which RockWorks stores, in the background, in the database) be sure this box is checked. In the output file, point-based measurements (P-Data) will have three added columns, with the XYZ location for each downhole point. Interval-based measurements (lithology, I-Data, etc.) will have six added columns, with the XYZ location for the top and the XYZ location for the base.
- Edit/View the Output File: Check this box for the file to be loaded into your default text editor for viewing/editing when the export is complete.
- Open the project to be exported, if necessary.
- Access the Borehole Manager program tab.
- Select the single borehole or enable the specific boreholes to be exported if you won't be exporting for all.
- Choose the File | Export | Multiple Tables | Text menu option.
- Enter the requested menu options, listed above.
- Click the Continue button to proceed.
The program will create a single text file with separate data blocks, for the selected holes and data types.
