Creating a New RockPlot2D Window

RockWorks | Window | RockPlot2D

A new RockPlot2D window is created automatically any time that a 2-dimensional map or diagram is created within RockWorks.  Typically RockPlot2D is displayed as a tab "embedded" in the program Options window; it can also be displayed in a stand-alone window.   

As described in Opening RockPlot2D Images, the easiest way to open an existing "Rw2D" file is using the Project Manager.

Another option is to open a new (blank) RockPlot2D window, then open the existing RockPlot file, or import an outside file, into the window.

Step-by-Step Summary

1. If you need to open a new, blank RockPlot2D window, click the RockPlot2D image in the Welcome pane.
   - OR -
   Choose the Window | RockPlot2D menu item, in the upper-right corner of the main RockWorks menu. 

You will see a new, stand-alone RockPlot2D window displayed. The window will be initialized to the project space defined in your Output Dimensions.

2. Follow the instructions about Opening Plot Files, or Importing Files.
