Exporting the Bitmap Types to an ASCII File

Use the Bitmap Types Table's File | Export tool to export the names to an ASCII (text) file.  This can be helpful if you want to share the listing with another user.

Step-by-Step Summary

  1. Open your project's Bitmap Types Table.
  2. Select the File | Export to an ASCII File option.
  3. Browse for the folder where you want to store the text version of your table.
  4. In the File Name prompt, type in a name for the text table, and click OK.  The default file name extension is "tab", but you can choose "txt" from the Save as Type list.

The program will read the contents of the Bitmap Types Table and store the information in a row and tab-delimited column format, as shown below.

Core Photos 1/3/16777215/0/1 100 1 1
Raster Logs 1/3/16777215/0/1 100 1 2
Cuttings Photos 3/3/16777215/0/1 100 1 3
Outcrop Photos 4/3/16777215/0/1 100 1 4

These tab-delimited columns list (1) the bitmap name, (2) a column of numbers and slashes which are not used, (3) a column with values of "100" which is not used, (4) a column with values of "1" which is not used, and (5) the row order. (In case you are wondering, the "not used" columns simply maintain consistency with the other types tables in RockWorks, such as Stratigraphy and Lithology.)
