Import the Well Construction Types from Another Project Database

If you've created a new project in RockWorks or are in the midst of working on a project, you can bring in the Well Construction Types from another, existing project database. These types will be appended to any existing entries in the current table.

! This tool supports RockWorks2006 to current databases.



  1. Open your project's Well Construction Type Table. It may or may not yet contain any information.

  2. Select the File | Import From Another Project option.
  3. Browse for the folder where the existing project resides, and select the folder name here.

    RockWorks will read the contents of that project's Well Construction Type Table and append it to the end of the current list.

  4. If there are any duplicate material names (it is not a case-sensitive match), you'll see a window that looks like this:

  5. Choose what to do:
    Use Current Database Value: Click on this button to skip the imported version and keep the material's settings as they currently exist in the database.
    Replace with Imported Name: Click this button to replace the current Borehole Database version of the material with the imported version.
    Do this for all cases where the keyword already exists: Insert a check in this box if all duplicates are to be handled in this manner.
  6. Make your desired editing changes to the Table. (See Editing the Well Construction Type Table.)
  7. Click OK when the table is displayed to your satisfaction.
