Quikplot

Hey all you Surpac users! Project plotting at its easiest. Use the power of Surpac plotting with the ease of Quikplot. Arrange your files in a methodical database. Plot the area and the features that you want! This lets unskilled staff plot complicated plots. QuikPlot is a new way of plotting Surpac files. QuikPlot does not replace Surpac, but enhances it - particularly in a project environment where many plots can be created throughout the day, all using a myriad of data. QuikPlot uses a database of your files put together in groups. These groups allow you to prepare plots containing data features that you can turn on and off at ease. The user must record all the files, pathways, string ranges, etc, so that the power of QuikPlot can be unleashed in your work environment. This recording is done in the Quikplot project data manager.

QuikPlot helps to organise your precious string files, and do so in a way that allows ease of use by more staff. QuikPlot can create very complicated plots quickly and easily by low-skilled personnel.

QuikPlot is particularly at home in an underground mining environment, although it can be used on any project. The project is split up into elements. For an underground operation this may be by particular levels. For a surface mine, it may be split by such things as roads, buildings, services etc..

When using Quikplot simply choose the Project Name. There may be multiple projects on the one database. Let us go through the steps on our underground project.

1. Select the Elements to plot. In our underground project these elements may be level number (or name). We will select the 245 Level and 245 Decline. We will also select the 235 Level. You can control linetype and pen numbers for any elements. So we will set the 235 Level to DASHED line and make it PEN 5.

2. Now select the features to plot for each level. This is done by turning check boxes on or off. You can plot any number of available features quickly and easily. Unique features can be set up for your project. Again in the underground project, your features may be Survey Stns, Floor RLs, Design, Geology, Ventilation. We will turn on the Survey Stns, and DESIGN for Level 245.

3. We have now chosen what we want to plot above, so now we select the Plot Parameters. The next dialog box is like the Surpac Present Plot Parameters window, but with some major innovations. You can load the files into a graphic box and drag the page around the window so that you can position the plot where you want it in relation to the whole project. You can dynamically change the scale, page size and orientation (any orientation), and still drag the box to cover the area you wish to plot.

4. Plot using Surpac button. This command button will create a macro with the in-built data. Surpac will start, run the macro, and stop at the Surpac preview plot window. The plotter ?.lf file will already have been written. Our plot will show the level below as a dashed line and different color. Survey stations will be plotted on the upper level. Couldn't be easier!
