RockWorks utilizes a variety of different reference tables and libraries to perform many of its routine tasks, from plotting symbols on maps and patterns on cross sections, to looking up lithology types and polygon vertices.
You can access the tables and libraries using the Project Manager pane which lies along the left side of the main RockWorks window.
The tables will be listed under two main headings in the Project Manager. To view the individual tables, just expand the heading and sub-heading, and double-click on any of the listed tables to view the table's contents and make any changes. You can click on the links below to access more information about the specific tables.
Project Tables: Stored in the project database (MDB). Locate these at the top of the Project Manager pane, along the left edge of the RockWorks window.
