Create a Drill Plan Manually
Use the Create Manual Drill Plan command to create an empty drill plan to which you can add drill holes in preparation for sending the plan to a drilling machine running DPS900. In addition, you can create a Manual drill plan by importing a drill plan in an IREDES file, which you can then modify.
Prerequisites:
- Licensed module; See the Subscription Plans page. For a license matrix by command, see the License page in the TBC Community. Also see View and manage licensed features.
To access the command:
- Select Create Manual Drill Plan in Drill Pile Compact > Drilling.
- Right-click Drill Plans in the Project Explorer and select Create Manual Drill Plan.
To create a drill plan manually:
- In the Name box, type a unique identifier for the drill plan as you want it to appear in the Project Explorerand to the DPS900 operator.No other drill plan or corridor bench drill plan can use the same name.
- If applicable, select the surface (or strata) that represents the top of the rock strata that the drill holes will penetrate in the Rock surface list.
- Click the Edit Settings button and specify settings for the plan (see Drill Plan Settings for descriptions of the options).
- Once you are done specifying settings, click OK. The drill plan you created appears under Drill Plans in the Project Explorer with an
icon, and the Add Drill Hole to Drill Plan command opens (see Add a Drill Hole to a Drill Plan).
Dependencies:
- Drill hole start, design, and rock intersection points are dependent on the original ground, rock, and finished design surfaces. If these surfaces change, the coordinates of drill holes points will update to reflect the change.
